100 de portrete ale oamenilor din Värnamo
Din octombrie 2019 de cand ne-am mutat in Suedia, in micutul orasel pe nume Värnamo, mi-am tot pus mintea la treaba cum si ce pot face sa ajung sa cunosc oameni. Este bine stiut ca suedezii nu sunt tocmai cei mai sociali oameni, cu atat mai putin cu un strain care ii opreste pe strada sa ii intrebe de sanatate. Si cum mie imi place sa-mi ies din zona de confort, fix asta am considerat ca este cel mai mare challenge, sa reusesc sa...
Din internationella bröllopsfotograf – Alin Popescu
Why “bröllopsfotograf”? Well, because two months ago, me and my family flew for good to Sweden, to work and live there, in a nordic country we long dreamed of. So, the title “din internationella bröllopsfotograf” means nothing else but Your international weeding photographer What it means is that I’m continuing my work as a photographer in a field I really love so much: the wedding photography. I have...
Photos from Budapest Pride 2019
I’ve always been a supporter for minorities and I’ve always helped their causes whenever I could. I did volunteer jobs, I photographed events pro bono, or I’ve attended the events I could and had time for. But somehow I’ve never managed to get close or show my support to LGBT community, even if I have friends that belongs there. This time I found myself in Budapest at the same time the Budapest Pride 2019...
Is the Sony RX10 IV a great camera for birds and wildlife?
Andreea, my 9 yo daughter discovering the magic of photographing birds with the Sony RX10 IV It’s been long since I’ve put my hands on non-full frame cameras, mainly because I am an addict of this format and I think (many times wrongly) that I can’t do my job or my hobby with a smaller format. So why I’ve put to tests the new Sony RX10 IV? The reason I’ve dug into this new camera was mainly curiosity. Not...
Sony A7R III Slow Motion in Blizzard S&Q HDR video
Sony A7R III Slow Motion in Blizzard S&Q HDR video I’ve taken out today the Sony A7R III (check impressions here) in a big blizzard to play with the S&Q setting plus HDR video and also check its resistance in extreme weather. It looks like it’s handling extreme conditions better than me 🙂 So I’ve created a small clip shot mostly in S&Q 4x slow-motion (100fps 25p) and HDR video. Here it is: Posted also on...
World traditions – Pig slaughter (graphic content!)
World traditions – Pig slaughter There are plenty of European countries where pig slaughter is still common in traditional rural houses. This occurs before Christmas to provide festive cuisine and the entire family participates. The animal is slaughtered with a knife, then drained of blood, hair is burned and then washed away. A cold day is chosen as a natural method of preserving the relatively large quantities of meat during...
Some amazing details from the Sony A7RIII
Some amazing details from the Sony A7RIII I was curious after my initial preview of the Sony A7RIII based in London at its launch event to look for similar images taken with both A9 plus the new 24-105 F4 and with A7RIII plus the 24-70 F2.8 G Master lens. I know it’s not a fair, equal nor direct comparison but was just curious how far Image Quality can go in the amazing combo of the A7RIII plus the GMaster lens. Images were...

Sony A9 takes a flight in Cappadocia
Did you ever woke up just to think you’re still dreaming? It happened to me plenty of times, but most recently in our Cappadocia trip in Turkey. Hanging mid air at over 500m, before sunrise, surrounded only by silence, hearing nothing but your breath and heartbeat it’s a difficult thing to express in words, or even images. You have to live it by yourself, at least once in a lifetime! I’ve been invited to a Sony Press...
