    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.

Inspirational guests!

Listened from the start and really enjoy listening. Every day through lockdown was a great motivator to keep believing and to work out to as well.
Love the show.

Looking forward to meeting Neale again in July as he is shooting a friends wedding (we never spoke last time as it was a training session years ago) but I recommended him for a friends wedding and I’ll be a guest!

My wife is the bridesmaid and I need a day off…. :)

The bride to be fell in love with his photo-films.

Best photography podcast out there

Very informative with great banter between the presenters Neale & Kevin. Very well produced on par with any professional radio show. It’s not just Fuji related either. So add this to your must listen to podcasts. Highly recommend. Tell them Pittsy sent you 😉📷

LEYLAND972 ,

Not just Fujifilm

Started listening to this podcast a couple of months ago and have binged every episode. There is a good mix of technical questions and creative questions. They are wedding photographers so there is a few questions related to wedddings but most of what is being said has a lot of crossover into other genres and fields. The production is fantastic and the presenters bounce off each other making it a very worthwhile and informative listen. I’d this podcast recommend to everyone.
