Diving into the past In the past, PhaseOne has had a pretty strict policy for supporting third-party medium format cameras. However, this policy was watered down once PhaseOne made a deal with Fuji. As a result, the Fuji GFX series has been supported since version 11.3. Until recently, with the update to Capture One 21 […]
Up to now, PhaseOne has had a pretty strict policy when it came to supporting third-party medium format cameras. It was watered down a bit when they made a deal with Fuji, so the Fuji GFX series is officially supported since version 11.3. Now three major versions later, PhaseOne added support for the Pentax 645Z […]
We nearly reached the end of the year, a year most of us will never forget and most will probably happy wave goodbye to. Nonetheless, this is a year that has already written itself into the history books. We witnessed the first pandemic since a century, seen a US president losing the election and still […]

This time I’m working […]

As Tamsin lives in London, she has a direct flight connection, and no quarantine is necessary after arrival in […]

We have planned this shoot for quite a while now; unfortunately, the current COVID-19 situation requires a lot of flexibility. Even more, if there are flights involved that might get cancelled short term or new lockdown rules might restrict […]
We are living in strange times, not only that COVID-19 restricts our freedom of movement and we have to submit to the rules of social distancing.
