Pro insights from Kevin

Advice from a master of street and wedding candids

1

“I shoot all my photographs in black and white, so the viewfinder display is always in black and white, even if I’m shooting raw files.”

“For me photography does not need to be perfect. I’ll rely on the cameras to do what I need them to do – my job is to just see the picture and what

I think is primarily interesting.”

“So quite often I’ll shoot in Program mode, which on a Fujifilm camera means having everything on ‘A’. My passion is the actual act of taking a picture and seeing the results – the art of the act, and not the functionality.”

“I try to spend as little time on editing as possible. I won’t have to make any noise adjustments to today’s files because I’ve been shooting in daylight at low ISOs. Any other editing would be adjusting the tonality of the images, and straightening and cropping slightly.” [Seepage14forKevin’seditingprocess.]

“If you’re in a street situation or at home with the kids or whatever, and you want to make something beyond a snapshot, use the five Ws – who, what, where, when and why. Answer that in pictures, and you’ll have a series of pictures that will work together as a story.”
