Street photography with the Olympus E-M10 Mark III
Traditionally, I always bring a new camera to the streets to shoot for review. For the recently launched Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III (full review here), I decided to shoot a different variety of sample shots which included sports, outdoor portrait and landscape. I am all game when it…
Testing the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II in Iceland
Photography for me has never been about gear. I’m more about landscapes than lenses and have always focused on creative perspectives over fan dangle gadgets. For the past six years I’ve had the same camera, which to a lot of people always comes as a shock. I didn’t upgrade, I…
Olympus PEN-F – Miniature. Mirrorless. Mighty. Changing my mind about Olympus’ most misjudged camera
The more time I spend working in photography, the more my priorities shift away from technical considerations. As far back as my Canon 5D Mark II days, I realized that any failure to get good images was more likely to be a fault of the photographer than the camera. That’s…
Photographing Butterflies with the Olympus 40-150mm f2.8
The macro capabilities of the Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 are eye-opening. Coupled with the OMD E-M1, I was able to capture sharp, colorful butterfly images at the Sweetbriar Nature Center. BTW, if you haven’t been here, they do amazing work to care for and rehabilitate wildlife. Sue volunteered there for a…

Premium/ M.Zuiko 8-25mm F4 PRO – My First Impressions
When the new 8-25mm f4 PRO lens arrived from Olympus, I was intrigued how it would compare to the amazing 7-14mm f2.8 PRO lens, and why they would release a lens that is very similar albeit slower. Read on for my first impressions… I have been using the 7-14mm PRO…
Premium/ Panning photography of nature
My name is Mikkel Due Andersen. I am 43 years old and an all things nature photographer from Denmark. I live on the amazing rock island of Bornholm, where you can find the most diverse nature in the country with loads of beautiful landscapes. I work as a primary school…
Premium/ The “1917”
Hi guys, I am honored to be asked to write about our photo essay called “1917”.I got the idea for the photoshoot from the model, Rosa, who got her father’s old uniform. She asked me if I would be interested to do a photoshoot with her, and if we could…
Premium/ Behind the Lens: Olympus PEN E-PL8 Photo Adventures (VIDEO)
In this photography journey, Hugo Pinho embarks on an unconventional choice. Venturing to the serene banks of the Mondego River in Portugal, he deliberately left behind the PEN-F, the OM-D, and his array of lenses. Instead, he embraced the unexpected companion – the Olympus PEN E-PL8, a compact 16-megapixel mirrorless…

Making-of a documentary short film, with Olympus E-M5 Mk II
I am often asked what is my process as I make the kind of documentary short films that I like to make (and that I appear to be good at if you believe the clients who hire me and the the film festivals who select my work for screening). For example, my short documentary […]

Invisibles
Everything happened after seeing on social media a photograph of an abandoned dog in a shelter of an association. It was a low quality image and it was evident that it was made by someone with the best intentions but without photographic knowledge. What really attracted my attention was the…
Street Photography @12mm
Since I started practising street photography (in the freest sense of the term) several years ago, my photographic vision has also constantly changed, learning to appreciate more and more the medium-short focal lengths to the detriment of the easier medium-telephotos. Isolating a single subject or a single instant is certainly,…
Lost in Österlen, Sweden
My photography story started in 2015 when my family and I moved from Malta to Sweden to start a new life with our baby who was only 2 months old at the time. There was no particular science behind the decision to relocate to Sweden except we liked it! There…

On the 31st January 2017, I had seen the Aurora Borealis report showed a strong possibility of them being visible over Bergen, with this in mind I set off to a few locations and managed to capture a few shots of the Aurora. Whilst up on Montana (a small area…
