Hello Arnold! Could you present yourself to the readers? Hello. I am 37 years old, I am French-Polish and I currently live in the south of France. How did you get interested in photography and how long have you been shooting professionally? I was initiated to photography by my cousin when I was a teenager, […]
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 didn’t buy new lenses and […]
On Assignment with Olympus Mirrorless – The Nature Conservancy of Kansas
I was facing a dilemma. Not a big deal, as I did have a fall-back position. The Nature Conservancy in Kansas had given me an assignment to photograph a couple of ranches in Western Kansas.

Events and wedding photography with Olympus
I believe for any professional photographer his equipment is just like an item of clothing: it has to fit and be comfortable.

London Notes with Olympus E-M5 and Fuji X30
London, late January 2018 Rainy days in London; sometimes the rain turns into snow. I’m in town with my wife: she has some academic business with English colleagues. Lunches, aperitifs and dinners are my only meeting points during these days. All the rest of the time, I’m goofing around with my two cameras kit: a […]
