74th Festival de Cannes – A Monochrome View

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I am just back from working overseas covering the 74th Festival de Cannes (Cannes International Film Festival).

I say “just back”, it’s actually 5 days now and I have just dropped off my “Day 5 test to release PCR-Test” so hopefully I’ll be back working soon.

I plan to write a couple of posts this week that will talk about the experience of covering the festival but in the meantime, here is a slide-show of monochrome photos from the 2 weeks, all shot on X-T3 and X-T2 Fuji’s.

Let me know what you think 🙂

I am a Sussex based photographer providing imagery for the entertainment industry. My working time is split fairly evenly between London and Sussex although I have worked all around the world; from Europe covering the BAFTA's, Glastonbury, Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, to the USA covering The Oscars. Passing knowledge & experience on is very important to me and so I am proud to say I am on the Board of the British Press Photographers Association, helping to improve the image and practices of working press photographers. I also educate by writing a widely read “technical” blog detailing my use of Fuji cameras and other equipment as well as giving talks about Press (and other aspects of) Photography to camera clubs and groups.

    1. Thank you 🙂 I was like a “rabbit in headlights” for the first 20 minutes, then the “automation” kicked back in…(which was a big relief)

  2. Was always, a cracking slide show, Julie. (You clearly have to work really fast. Are you using manual or Fuji autofocus to get such ‘spot-on’ focus?)
