Shinjuku Streets – Tokyo 13 August 2017

Chasing Light on the Streets – Melbourne

Circumstances have meant that for the most part my street photography sessions take place during the day. Why? Well I have children and so I fit in street photography sessions during school hours on week days and when I can get family to be with my youngest during the weekend. And that is great for…

Street Photography with the Fujifilm XF14mmF2.8.

It is interesting as a photographer of any genre that you will get advice or direction as to what a specific lens focal length is used for. Plenty of commentators on social media, blogs and YouTube will be very specific about this kind of thing and will even say things like ‘you should never use…
