A few weeks ago I dove into my Fujifilm camera settings again, played around with some presets and stuck with the Velvia. I like the vibrant colours that it produces along with the high contrast to separate the subjects. Deep dark shadows work well and I can get the needed result with minimum editing afterwards.

France is in a reflective period. Reflecting on health issues and a sudden rise in numbers of Covid patients in the last week or so. The second wave? Remains to be seen… For now though, masks have become mandatory in all close spaces. Whoever disobeys or simply doesn’t have one, a fine of 135 euros […]Read Post ›
After some time off, I feel like it’s good to come back to blogging with this particular post. It’s a part of a Friendly Friday Challenge. Photography is my passion, my hobby so it would be natural for me to share some tips, well I prefer to say advice for anyone who is just beginning […]Read Post ›

This problem has been here for centuries and unfortunately is not going away. Racism is more present than ever and power hungry and corrupt police are going at it again. This […]Read Post ›
Yesterday the city of Montpellier was buzzing. The bars and restaurants in France have officially been reopened. Also, most of parks and sport grounds welcomed back people. Something that many people waited with impatience. I have to admit, I’m one of them. It’s not like I’m loaded with money and going to be eating and […]Read Post ›
The quarantine lasted far more than 28 days but while photographing the post-lockdown city life and then uploading the images I couldn’t help but remember the horror film “28 Day Later” by Danny Boyle where the main character wakes up one morning to a completely new world and it’s far from pretty. Here in Montpellier […]Read Post ›
This picture was taken back in 2016 in the city of Arles in South of France. I remember taking a train from Montpellier on one hot summer day in August and going to see the famous annual Arles photography festival. Every year in August that city breathes photography. It’s an amazing atmosphere in the old […]Read Post ›
