    Thanks for the vid Kevin. I shot with everything from leica to contax to nikon but settled with Fujifilm since S1Pro. I still have S3pro, X100S, and X70. I couldn't agree with you more on all the facts regarding fujifilm. I too started as a wedding photographer but I am more settled in documentary street photography on my days off from my main career. Unfortunate that photography didn't translate into putting food on the table for my family. But your explanation of "breathing photography" is what I found with fujifilm camera.
    I truly appreciate your vids and your expertise.
    Stay safe.

    Kevin, I rarely comment on any RUclips video! There is something magical about how you capture your frames! I love your approach and analogy. I shoot FujiFilm since 2010 switching from Canon and it’s been a joy shooting every time I pick up the camera. Your speech is a true reminder to why I love photography and enjoy Fujifilm. Thank you for sharing this.

    By the way, you're the reason I've been a Fuji user for about....6 (?) years! So thank you for that!

    Thanks for posting this Kevin, I found it really informative. Do you get guests at weddings asking you to photograph them in the traditional, non candid way? and if so, how do you handle it? Have a bride and groom ever asked you to mix your reportage style with traditional posed shots, such as just one group photo? Sorry for all the questions but I would very much like to try out this style of wedding photography, I find it something I'm excited about rather than nervous about, if that makes sense.

    Love the photos!!!! I’ve only been shooting one camera one focal length for the past 1.5 years and that been with the X100F (sold for the X100V). I can’t say enough praise about this little camera and how much it has redefined my photography for the better. Like you I mostly been shooting my family and documenting my son’s life, and I mostly shoot with ACROS. Great video and love the content of your channel!!

    Great video Kevin. I highly respect you as a person and photographer and share you among the wise Photographers I follow like Zack Arias, Peter Coulson, Karl Taylor. All top in their field of expertise and sharing knowledge without an excess of commercial intentions. And I need to mention Ted Vieira too, for obvious reasons if you visit his channel. I have to admit I abandoned the Fuji ship and went further down the road and never regret it. I am a thru follower of "get it right in the shot" and minimise post editing (if possible) .
    Always great to watch your video's and your style of shooting. Black and White Photography Matters !! ;-)

    I loved your Video Kevin. Funny enough I have worked on PhotoKina in Cologne about 4 times for a large company beginning with C. I converted to Fujifilm about 3 years ago and haven't looked back. I started off with an XT2 and have had the XT4 for about 6 m months now. I shall definitely be looking at your Courses.

    Very interesting, just a question if you don't mind... the choice of B/W rather than color for a shooting is up to you and the clients are chosing you for this or it's decided with the clients every time?

    • @kevin_mullins

      It's up to me generally. The marketing drives clients that want that. That said, if they do want to discuss it I always will of course.

      @kevin_mullins  4 года назад

      Thanks, Andy. These days I use my presets but there is videos on my channel about how I edit RAWs etc. I've never experienced the "worms" - I think that comes about by over sharpening in LR.
