UKBFTOG Test out the New FUJIFILM XHalf

FUJIFILM invited 16 of our community members down to House OF Photography to try out their new camera XHalf

“…A camera dedicated to distraction-free creativity.A default vertical format, 2-in-1 imagery and Fujifilm’s legendary colour reproduction all in a compact body, X half combines a classic image-making experience with a fresh way to share your vision.”

And that is exactly what it gave us distraction free creativity! We split up into 4 teams, went to different locations of central london and we got to try one of the XHalf functions of shooting a roll of film and not being able to look at the images until the digital roll is finished.

We all had to go on a journey of really trusting our eye and creativity, shooting street photography and looking for the light.  An even more pressure there was going to be a prizes for the winning team, so everyone was ready to bring their A GAME!

Here are some of the amazing results captured on the day:

A Big CONGRATULATIONS to our winning team! Despite a lot of shots having fingers in front of them 👀 we shall name no names 😂 they had amazing winning shots, so well done ladies!

How beautiful was that! That you to the FUJIFILM team for inviting us down to check out the new XHalf

 

Uk Black Female Photographers in action!

But of course we can’t end it without showing you guys some pictures of our girls in action!

But what was even more special is seeing everyone connect. For some of the ladies it was their first time coming to a meet up, for some it was not their first time but everyone in the room was a new face. We heard uplifting conversations, people going on lunch together to connecting before they left. This is what our meet up are all about even though they came to try out new kit, they got to meet with people who related to them, share stories, inspire each other and grow connections.
