There’s really nothing like the feeling of leaning into bends at speed. Incredible ride and beautiful, welcoming community. I can’t wait to get my own 🏍️

A surrender to hard truths; a promise to self; a reach unprecedented; a soft landing.

We can’t change the foundations laid down for us. There is a beauty to this truth that is so easy to miss. We try, with the mightiest futility, to undo things said and done, to change the unchangeable and eradicate a past that is forever bound to us. With genuine confusion, we find ourselves asking where we are, though we are right where we have always been.

When we choose to shape ourselves knowing this, we open ourselves to the realisation that there are still countless forms we may take on. We can still be free, limitless, beautiful extensions of ourselves, though we are forever grounded to what is unchangeable.

It’s been a while, but I’m trying to post a bit more regularly again now.

Here’s some tests with @chelle.side from awhile back on the @sigmaphoto_sa 23mm f1.4 and 10-18 f2.8 to look at how the two compared for portraits on the @fujifilm_sa X-H2.

10-18 is an unconventional focal length for portraits but something about ultra-wide low angles has always intrigued me, especially when shot with a more moody scene. I lit this with @nanlite_global Pavo’s and a bounce as it was actually pretty terrible lighting outside. The wider apertures in the Sigma lenses helped a ton in getting the shots to still feel light with limited fill.

Which shot is your favourite? Photograph of young brunette woman in green sweater on a couch against a brick wall on a Fujifilm camera with a Sigma lens. taken in Cape Town, South Africa by @chelle.side
