    Photographing BEAUTIFUL MONSTERS and the perfect next X-Pro

    Photographing BEAUTIFUL MONSTERS and the perfect next X-Pro

    As Kev heads for sunnier climes we talk about life after weddings for Mullins Inc. as he counts down to his final nuptials gig, although he’s considering second shooting in a lomography style, maybe, perhaps. Also on the show, commercially and creatively making life simple, shooting professionally with the oldest digital cameras you can source, finding a replacement for the X-Pro3, what we’d like to see on an X-Pro4, the best camera system to switch into for fast moving monsters (or dogs), there’s some website advice from Kev, cleaning your camera with electrical contact cleaner (!) and hitting a mental brick wall creatively. We also have a book of the week and this one is a wonderful documentary about music photography by Robert Birnbach, called The Silence Between.

    Time to try film, or is it? And all hail the mighty Viltrox lens

    Time to try film, or is it? And all hail the mighty Viltrox lens

    Kev’s been doing what can only be described as speed-head-shooting, though his passion for country music is at last paying off as Neale eulogises about a Mullins favourite, Hank Williams. Also on the show, a shed-load of darkroom kit has turned up at Mullins HQ, the difference between dentists and photographers, using second shooters and assistants, going strength to strength with Viltrox, buying an X100VI alongside an X-T5, trying too hard and not feeling your picture making is improving, how tinnitus has cut short a career and how to photograph locations that aren’t necessarily so photogenic.

    HELP! Fujifilm flippy screens are driving me mad!

    HELP! Fujifilm flippy screens are driving me mad!

    Kev’s got extreme hay fever, which serves him right for cutting crop circles, and he’s considering his next photographic genre, which may just bring his love of martial arts and photography together. Today on the show, how powerful does your laptop have to be to handle GFX files? We have a strong case of flippy or tilty screen-gate, where one of our listeners has even been considering moving to Nikon to solve the problem, how to repair sticky buttons, is it worth sharing shooting data if you don’t have the context of the ambient lighting, and we have a book of the week from Gonzalo Mullen which highlights his photographic life between 2021 and 2023.

    Do I really need the VI, or will the X100V do?

    Do I really need the VI, or will the X100V do?

    Neale is celebrating 20 years of shooting weddings and planning for the next 20, whilst Kev counts down his final three! Or are they? However, he reveals some big judo plans! Questions and mails today on how to choose Fujifilm simulations when editing in Lightroom or X Raw Studio, whether it’s time to upgrade from the V to the VI in X00-land, a perfect lineup of lenses to cover all bases, thoughts about Nikon’s vintage flavoured Zf and content authenticity in this age of ai. There’s also some hot off-the-press Pic-time news.

    More chatter about the X-Pro4 and photographing from space

    More chatter about the X-Pro4 and photographing from space

    Kev tries his hand at horse photography at one of high society's biggest events, and Neale signs the boys up to set sail on a pirate radio ship. This week, the big Netflix shows currently being watched in the James and Mullins households, looking for a new professional photography career, do lenses need to be perfect or are some of the classics of the Fuji roadmap still a great investment, what’s the wait for a new X-Pro body all about, releasing a book of boudoir, a whisper of focusing issues after a latest X-series firmware update and dream photographic jobs.

    No more meetings, I’m becoming a photographer!

    No more meetings, I’m becoming a photographer!

    Kev’s been wrecking vans but all for a good cause, meanwhile Neale has announced(ish) his latest idea in a long line of ideas from the ideas factory. Today we talk about a Viltrox lens so impressive, it also doubles as a speed-radar(!), swapping back to Adobe products after a time away and why we prefer the tech ecosystem, keeping up with the latest software to edit X100VI files, seeing in black and white, to spot or to evaluate as Shakespeare didn’t actually say, turning pro, in-camera recipes for looks, X RAW Studio, brands logos and fonts and the twenty-two immutable laws of marketing, plus MORE long focal length primes please.

Neale and Kevin are worth the show, even if you aren’t into photography

This show is honestly so well put together, my wife (who’s not into photography like me) even enjoys listening. Neale and Kev are two of the funniest humans (especially when you combine them together and their minds latch onto the “joke of the week”), and they’re also incredibly informative if you really are interested in any form of photography. The interviews are fantastic and the weekly questions are awesome. Thanks Neale and Kev! See you at the Little Pub at the Back of the Plane sometime!

Easy to listening and entertaining

I've been a follower of Kevin Mullins for a while, and found this amazing podcast through his YouTube channel. I really recomend it. They give great advice through an engaing conversational format.

Wonderful podcast

Neal and Kevin are great hosts! They are like Laurel and Hardy or Lewis and Martin of the photography world .. meaning and unbeatable duo. Topics are varied to keep it interesting and often funny. The subject of wedding photography comes up a lot but thats inevitable given that both are wedding photographers. They do a good job of keeping the topics varied.
