From The Archives: Traveling through California

I’ve been revisiting my Photography archives lately for an upcoming project I’m working on and came across a lot of images that I really enjoyed revisiting and thought it was worth sharing. In this post, 10 images I took in California throughout the past few years in different cities. All images were taken with the combo Fujifilm X-T2 + Fujinon 16-55mm 2.8 and can be purchased as prints by clicking here or individually on each image:

From The Archives: Traveling through the Southwest

I’ve been revisiting my Photography archives lately for an upcoming project I’m working on and came across a lot of images that I really enjoyed revisiting and thought it was worth sharing. In this post, 14 images I took in 2017 during a trip through the South West of the US, while visiting Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion Park. All images were taken with the combo Fujifilm X-T2 + Fujinon 16-55mm 2.8 and can be purchased as prints by clicking here or individually on each image:

San Francisco with the Fujifilm X-T2

One year ago I went to San Francisco for the first time (disregarding the one time I was in the city for just one afternoon) and coincidentally I’ve been thinking a lot about that trip, maybe because we’re living in a time where traveling seems such a distant concept right now... I had a blast walking around and exploring the city, and realized I haven’t really shared that many pictures from it. So here we go, hope you enjoy it!

New Orleans with the Fujifilm X100F

On a recent (and first time) trip to New Orleans, I decided to leave all my gear at home and borrow a Fujifilm X100F to bring with me instead. Since I was going to be there only for 2 full days, and Photography was definitely not the focus of the visit, I wanted to have a camera that would be with me at all times without having to worry about size and/or weight. It has a fixed 23mm (non-interchangeable) lens, which makes it the perfect equipment to throw in any bag or even a jacket pocket.

I was curious to see if, by having the camera always accessible, I would be more enticed to just document everything that caught my attention, without overthinking or planning much. Not only that happened, but also having nothing but a fixed lens forced me to move around and get much closer to my subjects. No wonder so many people prefer prime to zoom lenses. I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss having my trusted 16-55mm with me in some cases, just to be able to get a bit closer. But I’m sure I would have missed a lot of significant moments by constantly thinking about all the range I would have with that lens.

Here are a few favorite frames from the trip:

Just got back from an amazing journey through the Southwest of the US. I'm ready to go back to work and very excited to what's next. Still got a few dates open in September and October, so let's make Fall even better than what Summer was!

Will be posting a lot of pictures from this trip on my website soon, hang tight!
