Street Photography with Fuji XPro1
NOTE: All images shot on Fuji XPro1 and Fujinon 35mm 1.4 lens with autofocus only. We’ve had our hands on the Fuji XPro1 for about a week now, and starting to get used to it and its nuances. Yesterday myself and a few friends met up in Soho and headed over to Temple Street in Kowloon [...]
Using a Steadicam (VIDEO)

No Photos allowed…..or are they? (VIDEO)
In recent news here in Hong Kong there has been much controversy about photographers rights to shoot in public places (in particular in front of large branded designer stores, etc).

Streetwise: – learning to shoot street.
Angela has been doing some photography training with me and today was all about street photography, getting out and shooting people in their natural environment. I could see by her face when we met that she was nervous about having to approach strangers…and rightly so, some of the locals in Hong Kong can be quite [...]
No time to pose downtown?…..quick shot in the studio…then photoshop….
We often get clients who want dramatic photographs with spectacular backdrops, but more often than not there can be several variables that make this style of shoot a mission impossible: The weather, the lighting, the fact that most people just don’t have the time in their busy schedules to go to the locations, and we [...]
