Like any naïve young photographer, I arrived in Brazil with the notion that I’d find a photo opportunity at every street corner. Knowing the challenge that lied ahead I did a fair amount of research before arriving. I practiced my Portuguese, studied maps and tried to memorize which areas of the city to avoid if ever I were to pace around with my D700 in hand.

Fujifilm X-E2. The Switch. A guest post by Fabio Camandona
Fabio Camandona became a photographer in 2007 during a vacation, twenty years after the thought “I’d like to be a photographer” first entered his head. From there he embarked on an intense independent study of the art, which led to him becoming a Master of the Nikon School in just two years, holding many high-level workshops for the company and himself. He began photographing weddings almost by chance, and with the arrival of his wife Simona Pilolla, he opened a studio called CamandonaPilolla which has had great success across the nation. Member of Fearless Photographers, the official photographer for both the Reggia di Venaria and the Torino Polytechnic University, and testimonial for Fujifilm Italia, he continues to hold numerous workshops despite the many weddings he photographs every year. He defines himself as an extremely simple person who loves life and living it.

The first wedding shot with the Fuji X-T1 – Guest Post by X-Photographer Max De Martino
We don’t often have guest posters on our website, but in the case of Italian X-Photographer Max De Martino, we decided to make an exception. 😉
Below we have translated his original article about his experience using the new Fujifilm X-T1 for wedding photography. The fact that he is the first photographer in the world to have used the X-T1 at a wedding and published the results makes the article all the more interesting! While you’ll find the entire translation here, you can head over to his website to see the full collection of X-T1 images from the wedding. You can also see a video slideshow of the images on YouTube, and don’t forget to follow him on Twitter and Facebook!
An Amateur Photographer Meets the Olympus Pen E-P5: Will sparks fly?
Ever since Mathieu and I moved into our new apartment here in Turin, we have received many visitors – both friends and family – curious to explore the city and partake, if just for a few days, in our Italian lifestyle. Our most recent visitor was my younger brother Nick who had only been to Italy once before. After much humming and hawing, we settled on taking him to Lake Como for the day so he could have a taste of both the lakes around Milan and the Italian Alps.
