“Prepare yourselves.” – This was the advice of our guide, Marius, on our first night in Addis Ababa. “It’s going to be raw, raw, raw!” I knew what he meant by “raw”. We would be living rough, in a makeshift, temporary camp with no electricity, no running water, and no connectivity. But “raw” has another […]
Introduction Iceland is a country of immense beauty and in my mind one of the most diverse landscapes in the world given that it is an island. It is volcanic and glaciated and it is these singular natural forces that have largely shaped the landscape. From windswept volcanic planes, to the mountainous highlands, fjords, coastlines, […]
The mighty Fujifilm GFX 50S offers perfect-like image quality which translates into incredible dynamic range, great resolution, sharpness and wonderful control over the depth of field. There are already some very remarkable lenses for the G mount, both primes and zooms, but with the help of an adapter from TechArt, GFX 50S photographers can easily […]

I knew I had to stay grounded though, as […]
The Fujifilm GFX 50S really is a game changer for Fuji. A medium format mirrorless camera, it combines the company’s heritage of classic medium format film cameras like the G690, GS645 and G617 with their retro mirrorless digital X Series. It’s a fascinating combination and it makes sense for a company like Fuji to […]
I don’t really do excitement over cameras, they are just there to do a job. I don’t really go in for camera porn, unboxing videos or any such nonsense, frankly it bores me. Also before I go any further I will say that I do work very closely with Fujifilm, but that doesn’t mean I […]
