Life As You See It
Scott Wicking ”This summer I splashed out on a FUJIFILM X100VI for my annual trip to the Alps (my tenth trek there). Usually, I would take a reduced DSLR kit. However, I’ve found that has become quite burdensome to lug around, especially when weight is a serious consideration – like when I’m trekking in the mountains. “The X100VI was a delight to use and perfect for such a trip: it allowed me to quickly have a camera in hand, without the danger or inconvenience of constantly taking off and putting back onmy rucksack.” Website: scottwicking.com

Elliott Block ”I’m a hobbyist photographer based in London. The work I do with photography is mainly focused on street, travel and capturing the everyday. “I try my best to photograph everyday life – including my own life – and aim to let my photos simply tell it how it is. Just real images with no fancy ideas – this allows everything to have a simple flow and helps people relate and connect with my work. “In the new year, I would like to be able to produce my first zine. I have become obsessed with the idea of having my own physical body of work and making a real bespoke portfolio with all of the materials and paper chosen by myself. It would be something to share with friends and family.” Instagram: @35elliott

Graeme Youngson ”I’ve always been interested in urban pigeons and have been fascinated from an early age by stories of their intelligence and homing abilities (particularly in times of war). “They divide public opinion, I know, but they are very much a part of our lives wherever we dwell in the urban world and are a tricky and fascinating subject to photograph. On the one hand, they are one of the easiest wild animals to get close to – but on the other, they pose a photographic challenge due to their rapid movements and frequent changes of direction. “Glasgow city centre is always full of pigeons. The photo here is of pigeons using the glass shelter at the entrance of a station as a vantage point. Below is the
busy pedestrian precinct of Argyle Street, where they know people sitting on the many benches will drop pieces of food. “I liked the opportunity to photograph the pigeons from an unusual angle and chose my FUJINON XF90mmF2 R LM WR lens. I love the way they seemed to be standing to attention in an almost symmetrical line. The glass cover and metal beams contrasted strongly with the outline of the pigeons suggesting to me that a high-contrast black & white approach might work well.” Website: photocrowd.com/photographer- community/62880
