Photographer, Eleanor Sutcliffe, swapped her DSLR for a medium format, mirrorless Fujifilm GFX 50S for two weeks, shooting portraits, products and live music. Find out how she found the switch… Make the switch
I started taking photos as a teenager, sneaking my dad’s Canon EOS 1100D into my local pub to photograph openmic nights. After moving to Birmingham at the age of 18 to pursue a degree in costume design, I fell into the world of music photography and shows most nights. Two years ago, I decided to take my hobby more seriously and last year I left my university course to pursue it full time. The risk paid off and I now work as a freelance
music, events and product photographer, based in Birmingham. My work is incredibly varied – I can be discussing a client’s wedding in the morning, shooting products for a company’s social media in the afternoon and then photographing a concert late at night. I currently shoot on the Canon EOS 70D, alternatingbetweena couple of lenses; Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 for music and products, Sigma 70-200mm for arena shows and a
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 for the odd portrait. I edit on my trusty laptop, or my phone if my clients need images quickly for social media. I began shooting on a Canon purely out of convenience (it was, and still is, my dad’s favourite camera brand), and while I’ve tried shooting on other cameras, I’ve always gravitated back to my old faithful. However, mirrorless cameras are becoming more prevalent in my line of work – I seldom shoot a show now
