AMSTERDA…

May 16, 2019 by Phil Kneen Photography

Every Easyjet short haul from John Lennon to Schipol is invariably the same – loud and unruly. On our flight, the stewardess stopped the safety demonstration halfway through because everyone was talking and announced that the cabin crew would not continue until there was complete silence…so, a bit like being on a school trip, except not obeying orders on this outing gets you added to the International ‘No Fly’ list. There’s always a collective excitement on the flight to Holland […]

21 Days

April 17, 2019 by Phil Kneen Photography

I’ve been using the Fuji XF10 for three weeks now, which I think is long enough to share what I like and dislike about this camera, so far. I’m not going to do what everyone else does and compare it to the street shooters go-to workhorse, the Ricoh GR2, or the recently released GR3 (despite the three cameras being very similar). So what don’t I like? There’s no viewfinder, which is fine, but I’d like the option of attaching a […]

Fujifilm XF10

April 2, 2019 by Phil Kneen Photography

My first ever experience with a digital camera was back in 2001, I borrowed a friends’ Nikon Coolpix 5000 compact, eighteen years ago it was considered a ‘prosumer’ model. I remember looking at the 5-megapixel images on a computer screen and zooming in until I could see every individual coloured pixel. Most other compact cameras at that time were only packing 2 and 3-megapixel sensors, so I was slightly impressed, although not impressed enough to ditch my 35mm Nikon and […]

The things I saw #4

February 14, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

Here’s a few more snapshots from my visual notebook, all taken in Spain during January, in no particular order. All shots were made using an Olympus MjuII 35mm compact and Agfa Vista 200 film. I used to hate walking, even a short stroll with the dog along the beach would leave me sweaty and achy, if anyone could find an excuse not to walk somewhere, it would be me. But that was a year ago, since then I’ve lost 5 […]

Scar Tissue

May 9, 2013 by Phil Kneen Photography

This week I’ve finally started a project that I’ve been meaning to do for years, it’s an issue that’s always fascinated me – scars. I posted an update on my Facebook page asking for people with scars and a story to go with them. I was expecting to get maybe 15 or 20 people – at the time of writing this I’ve got 159 volunteers! Some of the scars are accidental, some are medical. One lady has asked me to photograph […]
