For Fujifilm fanboys who live and breathe classic focal lengths, the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR  feels like a dream come true. On X-Series bodies, that 23mm translates to a 35mm full-frame equivalent  which is the quintessential street, documentary, and everyday focal length that feels  right. It’s wide enough to capture context, tight enough to isolate subjects, and just unmistakably cinematic in its natural field of view. That’s a key reason why I think it wins hearts over

I loved the Fujifilm X30 (and still do). It’s a charming, tactile compact with a zoom that covers useful focal lengths, an EVF and a control layout that felt like a grown-up point-and-shoot. But over the past year it’s quietly migrated from camera bag staple to shelf ornament. The competition for my shooting time, principally the Fujifilm X-T10 paired with the XF 18mm F2 , and to a lesser extent the smaller Olympus XZ-2 , has pushed the X30 out of the workflow. Here’s why.

Proposal photography is a unique blend of artistry, timing, and emotion. Capturing one of the most significant moments in a couple's life requires skill and an understanding of both the environment and the subjects involved. Liberty State Park in Jersey City , located in North Jersey, offers a breathtaking backdrop for such moments, with its stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty , and the serene waterfront. In this blog, we will explore how to create

In the era of ever-improving smartphone cameras and mirrorless systems, small sensor cameras often get overlooked. Yet for many photographers — both hobbyists and seasoned creatives — these cameras offer a unique shooting experience that is both liberating and creatively rewarding. When used correctly, a small sensor camera can produce beautiful images and even rival smartphones and larger sensor cameras in certain conditions. But it’s not about trying to make these cameras d

Film cameras that feel both nostalgic and useful are rare. For years, most “new” film gear has leaned heavily on toy-grade plastic or faithful recreations that lack modern conveniences. Lomography’s new Lomo MC-A shakes that trend: it’s a thoughtfully designed, all-metal 35mm point-and-shoot with a properly engineered glass lens, modern power options, and control modes that satisfy both someone learning film and a seasoned shooter who wants to stay hands-on. If you shoot film

Portraiture has long been associated with lenses in the 50mm to 135mm range, prized for their ability to compress perspective, flatter facial features, and create soft background blur. But step outside tradition, and you’ll find that wide-angle lenses—particularly the versatile 28mm and 35mm—offer a completely different way to approach portraits. Instead of isolating the subject, these focal lengths invite the environment into the frame, creating portraits that are layered, i
