Australian documentary and fine art photographer
Nick Bedford is a fine art and documentary photographer based in Brisbane, Australia.
It’s been an interesting few months in photography land. I just purchased a Sony A7R-iii to use with my Leica mount lenses (see the end of this post). I’m interested in creating new colour work, from landscape to travel and possibly some new colour street photography.

Read MoreWe photographers often fall into the trap of assigning ourselves the task of having to capture every trip in all its glory and not just experiencing it as simple human being first. That’s ultimately what the last year has been about for me. I love how 35mm Portra 160 looks anyway so I don’t think it’ll be much of a loss.

Now after some deliberation, I have finally made the jump to owning the Voigtländer 28mm F2 Ultron. Along with the 50mm F1.5 Nokton as well, and my tried and true 35mm F1.7 Ultron, I now have the trio of lenses perfect for all kinds of rangefinder-style work, from dynamic street scenes to quiet, focused portraits.
Read MoreAn interesting month! I had my opinion piece The Only Rule In Street Photography article republished to PetaPixel, resulting in some new traffic and Instagram followers along with a number of nasty words from folks around the globe down in the comments section.
