Over the course of the last few years we have had numerous conversations with people who would like to move from being an iPhone or instagram snapper to a full-fledged photographer. Without exception, the first and often the only question we are asked is: “Which camera would you recommend?” It is not that I am [...]
During our recent travels south of the border, while photographing Route 66 we stumbled upon Nelson, a small town in Nevada. For those of you fond of everything Americana, this is like a Disneyland of old, historic, cool and strange artefacts. We arrived there at midday with limited time to spend. Luckily, the area is [...]
There is no shortage of stunning places in North America and Kasia and I have hunted out many fantastic landscapes. Despite our travels, no other landscape has made such a profound visual and emotional impact on us as Death Valley. It is a visual Mecca for those who find beauty in remote, strange and rare [...]
For some, Route 66 is just a road sign. However, for millions of Americans it is the Main Street of America, a legend, the symbol of freedom, blue skies and the culture of the open road. The purpose of Route 66 was to provide a way for those “Going West,” especially in the 1930s. Along [...]
Fuji X-T1 & XF 14mm F2.8 During our recent photography trip south of the border, Monument Valley was not even on our itinerary. One morning we finished photographing the Grand Canyon and planned to head back. However, we knew that Monument Valley – a place that we have been always fascinated with – was only [...]
While choosing locations for our photo escapades, we usually prefer less-travelled roads. However, some places offer such visual temptation that skipping them would cause us sleepless nights.

Disclaimer: If you are looking for an objective, technical-oriented review you won’t find it here. Photography is an art and as a result personal emotions and experiences play a vital role. Therefore, the views presented here are only mine. They are deeply personal and biased and that’s how it should be. I have never been [...]
What a trip it was! We covered 7700 kilometres, ventured into the most incredible landscapes in the world and met fascinating people. We travelled with Fuji X-T1, XF 14mm F2.8, a brand new XF 50-140mm F2.8 OIS and Fuji X100T. We have a lot of material for you, which we have only just started to review. [...]
Along with the rise of Instagram and iPhone photography, there has been a flood of filters and film simulations. Unfortunately, the majority of these tools are formulated very poorly and the results can be quite grotesque. When I heard that Fujifilm is working on a new film simulation, Classic Chrome, I was intrigued. After all, [...]
