Take a walk on the wide side… | Patrick La Roque
When Fujifilm Canada asked if I’d be interested in shooting images for a book project (an internal publication I believe), I said sure. When they requested street photography? Awesome. With the XF 14mm lens? Uh oh. The XF 14mm f/2.8 R is fantastic—a lot of photographers have shot the hell out of this lens and wouldn’t be caught dead without it in their bag (my friends Bert and Flemming have both done some seriously amazing work with it). But I tend to use it very sparingly, only in very specific situations: when I need a larger field of view (obviously); when I want to accentuate lines and play with geometry; close-up, using distortion as a visual statement of some kind. When it comes to street however…It’s never been in my toolbox……
