Hi! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m Bruce, nice to meet you! I have officially been a photographer since January 2023 when I picked up my first interchangeable lens camera, a Fujifilm X-S10 with the 16-80mm kit lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although I have always been keen on photography and owned a few fixed lens digital cameras over the years, I’d always longed to take it that ‘one step further’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did a lot of research in to what would be the best starter camera before settling on the X-S10. I found it a fantastic introduction and I pretty much taught myself the basics of photography over the following 6 months, with a little help from YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This camera cemented my love for Fujifilm, and a year later I purchased an X-H2S, followed by an X-H2 in 2025 and a GFX100S in 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This now covers all my bases for my photography. I snap many different subjects from motocross to weddings and I have a camera and lens to suit just about every situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have many photographic interests, from goth portraits to automotive shoots, with some street photography thrown in. There isn’t much I wouldn’t have a go at shooting really!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of 2025 I was made redundant from my day job and decided to become a full time photographer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s been tough, there’s a lot of competition out there, and finding clients isn’t easy, but slowly and surely I am building up a professional portfolio and getting my name out there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I currently have 3 weddings under my belt with 3 more booked, and I recently shot my first all weekend event which was Rushden Pride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, this was my little introduction, so thanks for reading this and have a good day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
