Your photography is mainly for yourself. It is a form of expressing your feelings, your interactions with the surrounding world and a way to record all of this through still images.
Photography is for Yourself
JPEG is Freedom
Right from the beginning, I would like to say, as the title clearly shows, that shooting in JPEG mode will give you more freedom in photography. And in your life, too.
Fujinon and Helios – two portrait lenses
Fujinon XF 56mm F1.2 and Helios 58mm F2.0 are my 2 main prime lenses for portrait photography (sometimes I use another manual focus lens, the Pentacon 135mm F2.8), when used with a Fujifilm X mirrorless camera. I know many of the Fujifilm users do not have the 56mm prime lens for portraits, but instead, some of them use old legacy manual focus lenses as a cheap and accessible alternative.

About inspiration in photography and other meanings
We often look at photography and its inspiration in a very different ways and each of us extracts a different meaning. Some of us see photography as a duty, others as a passion, or even fun.
Night Photography – 12 Essential Techniques
I often discuss with my friends about the tips and tricks in all kind of photography fields. It is good to share your knowledge within a group of photographers. “Let the envy go away and act like a true member of a growing family of photographers”, I say. Each one has its own vision and original concepts and it is very profitable to share some of the techniques you have, based on your own experiences, which most of them were acquired on a trial and error approach.
