Featured #2 - Bartek Buzuk
We are back with “Featured Lumu users”! Bartek is an all-digital shooter and shares with us his beautiful portraits.
Personal intro. I was born in Warsaw, the capitol city of Poland and I live here for 36 years now. I work on daily basis as a sales representative in a small computer company. I love good coffee, can’t live without music and my sense of humor is rather abstract.
How did you start? I was runing around with a camera in my hand, capturing home events since I remember. However, the desire to learn how to take pictures came to me totally spontaneously about 15 years ago. I bought a small, compact Canon’s camera and that’s how it all began. Photography itself made me more open to people and for that I’m extremely grateful to it.
What’s in your camera bag? About a year ago I put away my Nikons’ DSLR on a shelf and completely switched over to Fujifilms’ cameras (X-E1 to be precisely) that’s why my camera bag (ThinkTank Retrospective) is quite empty. In 90% of cases I take the X-E1 with a 23mm lens with me. When I’m going to a session with a model or when I’m not sure about my walking plans I also take a 56mm lens, just in case. This setup is so light that I can carry it with me all the time, which is great because, as you know, the most interesting things happen when you forget to take your gear with you. ;)
Featured #1: Josh Bordelon
Tell us something about yourself. My name is Josh Bordelon, I grew up in Houston, TX and I’m currently employed by Apple. My free time is spent exploring Austin TX or other parts of Texas with my girlfriend, camera in tow of course, developing film, and skateboarding.
Your personal story with photography. I think my photo story started with skateboarding. like skateboarding it was an outlet to free my stress and creativity, a way to unwind. My friends and I were always filming our tricks and we would shoot some photos here and there but that died out. It wasn’t until college that i picked the camera up again and when I bought my first love-the Nikon FM2n. While I was still shooting skateboarding stuff with my friends, i also began to venture out into other styles of photography.
What do you carry around in your camera bag? The bag I’m currently rockin is the Ona Bowery bag. It’s the perfect sized bag. In it I can fit my Leica M4-P + Voigtlander 28/2, & M2/M6 with the Canon 50/1.4 LTM, 90% of the time loaded with Kodak Tri-X, the other times I’m shooting Kodak Gold 200, Kodak Portra 160/400, or Fuji 400H. Sharpie, Pen, notebook and my LUMU light meter. I don’t always carry two cameras, but sometimes i have two each loaded with different speed Tri-X or one color and one black and white. I primarily shoot BW for many reasons, I enjoy the look it has, the romantic feel it gives, but I also enjoy the process of learning the film’s characteristics along with developing and scanning from home. It’s all one big process and a way for me to escape and get lost in. I’m not by any means against digital, in fact I shoot a Canon 5D MKii with a 35L and a 50L and love it. both mediums give off totally different feels. Film just requires more thought in different areas and i think thats one of the things that draws me in.
Garrick Fuji about Lumu
Garrick Fuji, from They Shoot Film collective about first impressions using Lumu:
“I’ve been on a serious search for an ultra portable light meter that has great low light accuracy for quite a while and have gone back and forth between wanting to purchase a Gossen or a Sekonic meter, but happened to stumble upon Lumu light metervia Instagram last year. I approached them about being a tester and...
