I have been using Fujifilm cameras for weddings since the launch of the original X-Pro 1 back in 2012 and I owned the original Fujifilm X100 back in 2010. Until about five or six years ago I was using Canon DSLR’s for about 80 percent of my work and the Fujifilm cameras to fill in...
As well as photographing weddings I like to do some personal photography for myself, it gives me a chance to try things out that I can then use in my wedding photography. A particular passion of mine is street photography, I was in London yesterday to photograph a wedding drinks reception at The Langham hotel...
