While on my last long-term trip adventure to Guangzhou (China) for the span of three weeks I walked an average of more than +20k steps every single day. This, translated into photography terms can be understood as to I had a lot of time to wander the city streets and tiny alleys and not just that but paired with my beloved Fujifilm X100F (which I couldn’t be any happier about havinf for my travel & street photography) the result of the equation is basically tons of photos.
Here I am bringing you with some of the photos I took during those long hours walking along different districts and local lifestyle. It’s pretty difficult to not be looked at while strolling around China because of the obvious and physical differences between both of us so it wasn’t that easy for me to blend in and take all the photos I would have liked. Nonetheless, I couldn’t be happy of this experience I got to live!

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY: TESTING THE FUJIFILM X-T30 IN BARCELONA
Yesterday decided to join an event with Fujifilm in Barcelona where Joan Vendrell did a presentation about the well known Fujifilm X-T30 and how he uses it on his work in the field (mostly travel photography). He talked about some of the new settings that this upgrade from the X-T20 has and showed us first hand the best way to make the most out of it.
It was my first time at having the chance to shoot both with a Fujifilm and a mirrorless and to be honest I was eager to see and try for myself this small, non-heavy at all and outstanding quality camera.
After the presentation we were given each a Fujifilm X-T30 and a 16GB SD Card and with no further hesitation, hit the streets to try it out.
Let me tell you, it has been so damn long since I last truly enjoyed and feel excited to bring a camera with me around and get back to Street Photography. The X-T30 definitely got me a bit lost with its system and way to change settings before I was able enough to take a single photo but after some trial and error I would say I started to understand it and focused more on composition instead of worrying too much.
