Fujifilm is working diligently to provide photographers with new resources since updating the official Fujifilm-X website. In this video Damien Lovegrove walks us through his thought process while shooting a model with his Fujfilm X-Pro 2 and Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R. I haven’t done much work with models, but I always find watching others give direction interesting.

A daddy daughter combo shot a wedding together for the first time and turned it into an interesting blog post about the experience. The daughter that goes by “The G” shot the wedding completely manually with a Fujifilm X-T1 and X-E1, which is very impressive considering she’s only 9-years-old, dad must be a good teacher. The post includes many keepers and I hope she continues to develop her skills. I think it’s important to support young talent whenever we can.
