The FujiCast: Photography Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Kev returns from a week away looking at the world through the bottom of a pint glass, but all is well, and we're ready for the final push through to the time of year it's too early to mention yet! Your questions and emails into the show answered.

Today, should you recycle your memory cards more often to be absolutely safe they won't corrupt? Do we have a strategy for our exits from shooting weddings or even being photographers? Is the wedding industry for photographers at any rate, the slowest it has been since the pandemic took it away for a while? Do you calibrate your monitor? And the big elephant in Kev's duck stream (listen the show that will makes sense), what will the new X-Pro line camera look like?

Kev's reboot has begun for '22. We talk 'must have' shots at weddings, creative ruts, X-Trans sensor magic, back button focussing on the X100V, advice for new street photographers, left eye shooters, using exposure compensation and ask; "What is the difference in light gathering when considering lenses on a full frame camera versus APSC sensor camera?" Casey Orr returns for the concluding part of her chat with Kev.

The last one of the year as we take a short break over the holiday period. We're musing over cameras for left eyed shooters, revisiting focusing techniques, pricing a 'day in the life' photo business, Kev shares his plans for '22 and we ask, "Could you shoot a wedding just with zooms?" We talk about photography start-ups, stolen library owned photobooks, have some jpeg editing tips, Covid passes at weddings and the most popular colour for an X100 range camera. Our guest is documentary photographer Casey Orr.

Who ate all the mince pies and why is Kev favouring the new 50mm f1 lens for his wedding work? We talk about working with videographers in a documentary setting and dancing whilst making your pictures! We discuss providing pictures to bereaved families, stepping back to manual focus times, making stories locally and ask, are you proud of what you shoot? Book of the week is Asim Khan's Scenes from a World in Lockdown and we hear from Deanna Dikeman on her book Leaving and Waving.

Kev is under the weather but the test came back clean so he's fit to fly on the podcast and Neale has unleashed (can you see what we did there) his own studio dog. We muse over photographers that can't or won't embrace innovation, talk cropping, discuss the amount of images returned to clients from an edit, how we send images to clients, whether it's time to finally drop the full frame lens equivalent references, ask what makes an image great and other stories. Our guest is street photographer and FujiFilm ambassador Polly Rusyn.

This week we pay our respects to a giant of photojournalism, Tom Stoddart who passed away last week. On the show, Kev is off to a wedding with the Archbishop! We talk about firmware and Instax printers, the X-M1 and X-E range, solve some X100F metering issues, dream AGAIN about a monochrome sensor, discuss personal versus work cameras and ask; "Are you SOOC?" Book of the week this week is Marilyn Stafford's 'A Life in Photography'.

Do they have Polar Bears in Argentina, how much is Kev's vet's bill, what is a shutterless camera lifespan, should you have a 'scaffold in pictures' contract clause, can you future proof a photo business for another pandemic and why do people humble brag? We imagine a world without film, talk about travel and backups, dream of a BW sensor and discuss how the new larger sensor size may affect lens purchases. The book of the week is Fred Herzog's Modern Color and Darren Goldstein returns to talk about stills unit photography.
