I've been using the Leica Q3 A LOT over the last few weeks -- I took it to the NYC No Kings rally, spend a day at MoMA with it, used it at portrait shoots, and took it on a day trip to Chelsea Market. I've got a lot to say about it, mostly very positive. But until then here's a some JPEGs to check out. ‪@LeicaCameraGlobal‬

Guys. I did a thing. It was a completely rational, and non-emotional decision. 😂 Lots of content coming your way soon.

Portraits of the amazing Natalia captured at my studio. I used the Canon R5 & 50mm f/.2 lens and 3 lights - a Nanlite in a small beauty dish as key, and a second Nanlite in a large umbrella for fill. Then, I took a small Genaray lighting panel, set it to red at a low intensity, and used it as some direct color fill just to give it a little something extra. ‪@CanonUSA‬ ‪@NanliteGlobal‬ ‪@genaraylighting7431‬

I have a Fujifilm GFX 100S II & 55mm f/1.7 on loan and used it for a portrait shoot with a few of my musician friends. These were shot in JPEG and then edited in Affinity Photo. I went for warm tones in the editing cause I felt it went well with the vibes of these dudes. Oh, and I accidentally shot in jpeg 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ but the files are so good it didn’t matter *that* much (I might do a video on it).

I did a livestream portrait shoot today and here’s one captured with the Fujifilm XT5 & 16-55 f/2.8 lens. I shot it in Acros and then muted the tones a bit in post to give it a vintage look. ‪@fujifilmxseries4081‬

Fujifilm XE5 & 23mm for the win. The XE5 is a stellar little camera. ‪@fujifilmxseries4081‬

I'm testing a Fujifilm XE-5 w/ 23mm f/2.8 and really enjoying it. It gives you the same form factor of an X100 series with the added ability to change lenses, which I will take over a fixed lens camera any day. Plus, the quality is awesome. Here's some shots I did at my studio for a model client. Shot on Acros and then I edited the raw files in Capture One.

Here's a few images captured with the Fujifilm XH1 & XT5. Lot's more can be found in my latest video where I talk about dropping my XT5 like an idiot. ‪@fujifilmxseries4081‬

Here's a few from a recent portrait shoot. I captured these with a Canon R5 & 50mm f/1.2 lens. The backdrops are made by Ethan Alex, and I lit the model with a small beauty dish in a Nanlite, with another nanlite in a large umbrella for fill.
