Name’s Donovan Bond. I live in Toronto, Canada with my wife Melissa, and 4 cats. My last job was as a “Senior Art Director” at a marketing agency. I would typically hire photographers rather than actually be one, but I was always the one who’d shoot parties, events, and employee headshots.
Cullman Magic II ― when Innovation meets Design, the ultimate travel tripod for Fuji X Series Cameras. It is rare to have products completely transform an aspect of your photography. Sometimes, its a lens that we fall in love, we absolutely love the bokeh, other times its a camera in and of itself very much like the Fuji X series but other times, its something we didn’t quite expect it would ― a tripod, in this case an amazing tripod for the Fuji X series cameras in my opinion ― the Cullman Magic II with the Cross CB6.1 ball head (with a quick release plate). The Cullman Magic II is an almagamation of technology and design both meeting at cross roads to provide a product that completely fulfills a need in travel photography and other uses as well. As we all know, tripod stability is of paramount importance in order to attain pin sharpness in our exposure and I can wholeheartedly say the Cullman Magic II provides that and much more .
I am an Italian photojournalist currently based in Mexico City, where I live almost 4 years with my wife. My professional activity ranges from editorial photography to events, including fashion and erotic photography. My work already includes many books published, prestigious collaborations and important exhibitions (USA, Italia, Spain).
Dark corridors, blazing lights, movement everywhere, boudoir dancers, and cocktails are all the characteristics of a night club. All the while I’m moving around unnoticed, scanning, pressing the shutter, and it just hit me the OVF is king. captured with the Fuji X-Pro 1 & XF 35mm 1.4R [ngg_images gallery_ids=”6″ number_of_columns=”2″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_pro_thumbnail_grid”]
My name is Robert-Paul Jansen, and I am a real-estate developer from the Netherlands. But I’m also a photographer, husband and father of two sons (8 and 10) and a baby to be born in the beginning of 2014. In photography I make money selling my work through Stocksy (a stock photography co-operative owned and operated by artists), selling prints and through commissions (architecture).
I told myself this year would be different. I would be more proactive with my photography and redesign my own path. Is that even possible? Are we so entrenched on gear to have missed the most important aspect of what photography is all about. I think so. Lots of thinking to do but in the mean time I’ll dedicate this picture to my newly “inspired eye.” captured with the Fuji X100 LE
My name is Kale Friesen and I am a professional fashion and beauty photographer. I was born in Saskatchewan in 1981, moved to Vancouver, BC in 2006, then Paris, France from 2006 to 2009, then back to Vancouver where I currently reside, but my wife and I are in the process of making a move to New York City in the fall of 2014.
So far so good. The more I play with Aperture the more I fall in love with and its no nonsense approach towards organizing and processing. This love affair has even affected my usage of Photo Mechanics – one less app in the workflow. There is nothing wrong with PM as but I just don’t need at the time. If you’re like St. Thomas, you must see to believe, then don’t take my word for it. Import some gigs into Aperture and import the same amount of gigs into PM and you’ll see how Aperture takes it. What the hell, yup. I’m on a 2013 13′ MBA and its been my experience so far. So there goes that app for me. I’ll keep on my dock but its shifting to another position.
