Shoot from the hip

As you may be well aware I'm a look through the viewfinder kind of guy. It is part of my photography philosophy. Well until recently...

I bought a used Fujifilm XM-1, a camera which came out around 2013. What drew me to the camera was the tilt screen but no viewfinder.

I decided to expand my street photography repertoire by using the flip screen of the camera and shoot from the hip in a more fluid and spontaneous way. Having only spent a few hours with the camera I was amazed at the new found freedom to shoot the world view in a new way.

I'm hoping this new found approach to street photography may well evolve into a new book...
