For all of you Fashion aficionados here is my newest shoot for STYLE magazine called “Wheels Up”.

We shot with models Alice Le Paige @ New York Model Management and Lancelot Prat @ Elite Models Paris. It was shot at the modern Paris La Defence.

Video out next week

For those of you interested, I used the (Graphite) Fujifilm X-T2 with the 56mm f/1.2 and 90mm f/2.0, both shot wide open throughout the day. Video shot with X-T20 and the 50-140mm f/2.8 at f/2.8

I shoot a lot of surf/sk8/beach/island Mr. B, mostly for equipment manufacturers, apparel, catalogs and mags  .  .  .  I'm not sure we've ever had wardrobe like this  .  .  .

.  .  .  as part of the mix, but, I luv it  .  .  .  wink  I realize you're much more fashion oriented in your shoots, but combining that with different base activities, in beautiful locations certainly gives the whole scenario a burst of energy and attitude  .  .  .  the colours really POP too, I always used to use Fujichrome to get fully saturated colours when I was using film, looks like their cameras deliver the same level of colour burst, are you bumping the images much in post?  Wonderfully done Mr. B, always a pleasure to see what you're up to  .  .  .  thanks for sharing!

Interesting to see you transitioning from a larger sensor camera to a small sensor with half the MP.

I'm find I'm tired of lugging heavy gear so I delved into the Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mark II from the Nikon D800E.  My transition was due to my Inpsire's M43 camera and acquiring a bunch of lenses for it, so the Oly. M43 seemed a natural which followed the Pen-F which is a sweet travel camera.  Now if I can figure out how to calibrate all 50 of the auto focus tuning points with its 12-200mm zoom - ugh!  If done right, the thing can find a face and then focus on the closer eye, or left or right eye if selected.  Focus accuracy is tightening up a lot in these new things.

Skating action is tough for still photographers doing fashion.  I'm trying skaters with drones and it ain't easy!
