I saw it at Photokina in this glass cabinet and it was so beautiful and so retro. I could tell straight away that it was going to be a machine that was lovely to use. I didn\u2019t need it, I desired it and decided to buy it. I kept bringing it out at shoots and it just transformed the way I worked. It felt totally natural, while the fixed lens meant I didn\u2019t have any decision-making to make.<\/p>\n\n<p>http:\/\/link.brightcove.com\/services\/player\/?bctid=4416620785001<\/p>\n\n<p>I then added the X-Pro1 with 18mm, 35mm and 60mm lenses. Its first proper outing was my road trip covering the full length of Route 66. My finance director (Julie, my wife) wouldn\u2019t let me put the X-Pro1 camera purchase through the business as it was not an absolutely necessary expense, saying \u201cYou have a perfectly good Canon camera kit already\u201d so I paid for the Fujifilm X-Pro1 kit out of my own savings. It felt even more special for that.<\/p>\n<p>The X-Pro1 was a joy to use and the images it gave me matched my Canon EOS 5D MkII for quality. I never picked up the Canon again and I eventually sold it once I had bought the 14mm f\/2.8 prime to replace my Zeiss 21mm on the Canon system.\u00a0I\u2019m now using the Fujifilm X-T1 for all my day to day shooting. There\u2019s lots to love about it but the flip-out screen on it is perfect for me. I like to shoot from the hip, and use it like a waist-level viewfinder. It allows me to communicate with my subject without having this great big block in front of my face.<\/p>\n<p>All the Fujifilm XF lenses are amazingly sharp wide open and that\u2019s where I like to use them most of the time. The XF 35mm lens is rapidly gaining legendary status. It\u2019s great at f\/1.4 for intimate portraits with a wonderfully controlled bokeh.<\/p>\n<p>The Fujifilm advantage is that the system is small, offers super image quality and above all else is a joy to use. The fun I get from photography has a lot to do with the kit I\u2019m using and I\u2019ve never felt more creative than I do right now. I\u2019ve said goodbye to DSLRs for good.<\/p>\n<h4>For further information, and special offers and competitions visit <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/fujifilm-x\">www.amateurphotographer.co.uk\/fujifilm-x<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_58616&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1220px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-58616\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_012.jpg\" alt=\"Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_012\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_012.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_012.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_012.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_012.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_012.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Image by Damien Lovegrove<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Damien\u2019s top portrait tips<\/h2>\n<p>Make a connection: Connect with the person you\u2019re photographing. Put the camera aside, have a cup of tea, have a cup of coffee, have a laugh with them. Really get to know them and then bring the camera into the frame.<\/p>\n<p>Perspective: The perspective in a portrait isn\u2019t related to what lens you\u2019ve got on the front of the camera. A wide-angle is going to be the same as a telephoto in delivering perspective, but what matters is you relative to your subject. If you use a long telephoto lens, you\u2019ll find to get a mid-shot you\u2019ll have to shoot from quite a long way back. It\u2019s flattering, but you don\u2019t get that connection, that intimacy. You need to work at just beyond arms length to get something really really beautiful. I\u2019m working with the 60mm, 35mm and 23mm and only go to the 56mm if I want something a little bit tighter.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_58614&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-58614 \" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_005.jpg\" alt=\"Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_005\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_005.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_005.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_005.jpg?resize=267,400 267w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_005.jpg?resize=562,843 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Image by Damien Lovegrove<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n<p>Plan your style: Decide on the look you are aiming to achieve from the outset, such as high-key, rim lit or moody.

Does the picture have the look you want? Is the contrast right? What could make the shot better? Zoom in and check the detail. Is there enough shadow information? Is the shot sharp?

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/08\/Amber-Tutton-Fuji-AP_010-2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-21 23:23:55","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58601"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58999,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58601\/revisions\/58999"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58601"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=58601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
