I spent many years working in a communications department that was managed by former war reporters. I got a lot of exposure to photojournalism and visual story telling. My photos blend photojournalistic sensibilities with techno-sensationalism. This collection speaks to my travel experiences , co-creation design sessions with partners, and plain old street photography.
Most of these photos were captured using Fujifilm cameras (x100s, xpro3). From time to time, I’ll use a mobile phone, which I don’t like as much. Fuji has created an excellent photography system that prioritizes shooting experience over dull practicality; craft over capability.
