Embracing the Mirrorless Revolution: A Photographer's Perspective

In the fast-evolving realm of photography, I made a pivotal decision two years ago that changed my entire perspective – I transitioned to mirrorless cameras, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative.

One of the paramount advantages that immediately drew me towards mirrorless technology was the ability to preview my shots with unrivaled precision through the digital viewfinder. Unlike the analogue viewfinders of traditional DSLRs, the digital viewfinder of my mirrorless camera provides an exact representation of the scene, allowing me to see precisely what I'm about to capture. This real-time feedback enhances my creative process and ensures that I can fine-tune my composition before pressing the shutter button.

The primary catalyst for this camera transition was the persistent focus issues I encountered with my digital SLRs. The analogue viewfinders occasionally struggled to nail the focus accurately, leading to frustrating instances of missed shots and the need for frequent lens calibrations. Enter mirrorless cameras, and this problem became a relic of the past. The advanced autofocus systems in mirrorless cameras have not only eradicated focus inconsistencies but have also saved me both money and time previously spent on sending my lenses for calibration.

Embracing mirrorless technology has not just been a shift in gear; it's been a game-changer for my photography journey. The assurance of precise focus coupled with the convenience of a digital viewfinder has elevated my creative process, making every shot a confident and calculated capture. As I reflect on the past two years, I can confidently say that I haven't looked back since making the switch to mirrorless – it's a decision that has enriched my photographic endeavours in more ways than one.

Commercial Photography: Bonfire Night at The Swan, Marbury

commercial-photographer

I had so much fun recently capturing the goings on at The Swan, Marbury. Lindsay (Operations Manager), a while back, messaged me about capturing happenings at the bonfire, the atmosphere in the pub, the kitchen, interior, etc.

Lots of low light photography with high ISO’s were required and the light began to fade. My favourite shots:-

Commercial headshots: Tony Mazzotti - Business Growth Specialist

Tony Mazzotti - Business Growth Specialist

Recently I’ve been getting back into doing corporate headshots but with a difference.

I met Tony Mazzotti, Business Growth Specialist, a while back when I first started to network in Wrexham. Tony wanted to update his professional images and turned to me to help.

From the city of Chester, it was important to Tony to have his photos taken in the city. Tony hired me for an hour as we walked around lots of different locations in the city.

It’s not enough nowadays to just have formal headshots with dark or light background. Lots of my clients want to show not just their professional side but the human/caring side of their personality!

Here are a few images from the shoot….

At last I have a few minutes spare to do a little blog post of recent business activities with Raymond Jones Images.  I will try keep this blog up to date but then again I won't make any promises if you know what I mean.

The corporate/commercial side of my photography is expanding in a way that I thought it never would.  I've been documenting and photographing, over the last two years, The Swan, Marbury for Pubs limited.  Thoroughly enjoyable seeing and photographing this pub from start to the present.   The new look Swan is almost complete.  I've also been working with self caterers, including chefs pubs and great venues like Holt Lodge, The Millstone,  Pubs Ltd, etc.  Corporate head shots, interior and exterior of businesses and their products, especially food.
