Kevin those shots are great, in fact they are art, you are being to modest and selling yourself short. IMO Black and White rules !! Job well done, thanks for sharing.
I just got an X100F, my first Fujifilm camera of any kind. And I have to say, Fuji does something special with light, something I've never seen as purely portrayed with other cameras. Especially their B&W film simulations. It's the reason I bought this camera, there's just something special about the pictures it can take. Your photos were very inspiring. Thank you.
Great work. I was looking for videos relating to the XPro 2 yesterday and found your subject family appear in a similar day in the life TH-cam video photographed by Neale James, again using Fuji gear.Thank you for sharing your work.
Absolutely gorgeous photos. Inspired me to do the same for my kids. They’re 5 and 3 so I might do a day a year and print an album for each year. Stunning!
These are great Kevin, not too saccharine, very classy set of photos the family must have been over the moon with them. I wish I had taken the time to photograph my children in the same way before they grew up and left home.
Excellent, as always Kevin. I wish I would’ve done more of this with my own family before the kids grew up. Making up for lost time every chance I get. Thanks for the continued inspiration.
Just lovely! You se the smal things that make a Stunning photo. I learn some new everytime I watch your videos but the most important. They are so inspiering. Keep up the good work and keep posting. Per
As always,Outstanding. I felt like I was drawn into the family with your slide show. I love your black and white work and it always wants to make me set my X pro 2 to Acros and the heck with everything else. And I do. :)
Just WOW Kevin, just WOW! I’m inspired to do this now with my family! Really wish that Fujifilm would push out eterna and acros as updates for the rest of us mortals (xt-1 and below)!
Beautiful images Kevin. Apologies if I missed it in the video, but the files you show are .tif, yet they were shot on the GFX and X cameras - did you convert them before outside of LR ?
Fantastic photos, I love the simplistically of them, I take photos of my granddaughter all the time, simple ones, yesterday we had a water ballon fight, taking photos with my Fuji X70, yes it's not a waterproof camera, but sometimes you just have to say, Hay so what, it's not going to damage it,, got some great photos and the camera dried off and is fine.. keep the videos coming, there great. Hope the weddings go well for you this weekend 👍
I really like your photographs, Kevin. Truly inspirational! I was wondering, though: the spot measuring on the highlights gives you a lot of contrast, and I think that parts of some images are pure black (a few peaks at the histogram when it is visible appear to confirm that). Isn't that a problem when printing?
You won't be able to get this directly from the camera, unfortunately. Now, if only Fujifilm allowed us to have a strength slider on the Sepia filter :-)
What is that music you use in the photo slide-show near the end of the video? It is beautiful and I want to listen to it while I work! I do hear Debussy I believe in the first part of your video while you discuss the photos. I wonder if the second song in the video over the slideshow is also Debussy?
Love your work; just listened to your interview on the Fujilove podcast which brought me to your TH-cam, which I just subscribed to. Just curious - what's vlog setup? What camera, lights and sound equipment are you using for these videos. I'm setting a friend up to start vlogging and I love the look of this video. It kind of looks like it was shot 4K X-T2 in classic chrome.... Am I even close? Thanks so much!
Thank you Kevin; it's good to see someone shooting video for a vlog on their Fuji. I feel like the video coming out of the Fuji is vastly underestimated at this point.
Beautiful imagery and story... I have done a few 'day in the life' shoots prior to being a Fuji shooter, and but your work is making me want to do more of these sessions. I would have loved to have images of my childhood like these. Great job! Also excellent choice in music... May I ask, do you use a specific music licensing website? I'd love a video from you with insights into making photofilms. I started my career as a video editor, and while I have shifted more into photography, I am still a stickler for good editing. Your work is excellent.
Hi Junia. Thanks for the kind words. I'm currently using Epidemic Sound for my licensing. It's very important to have licensed music - otherwise, the TH-cam police will be all over you like a rash.
Lovely Images as always Kevin. How many images do you usually deliver to the client for this kind of commission? Seems like it’s almost like a mini wedding job lol!
hi mr mullins could you do a video on how to scedule or plan your day out for a wedding where to start to what you should cover last . thanks love your work it inspire me everyday i my self am a documentary photographer but wish to become a documentary wedding photographer im gonna work hard and learn all that i can to make it happen thanks again take care .
I don't put them anywhere. Wheverever the clients go, then I'll shoot - and in this case, it was in very strong sunlight so I had to deal with it on the day.
It's all subjective, Robin. Believe me, I look at other peoples work and I think the same. In fact, I was looking at some of your street images the other day and was really in awe of them. You are a very good shooter.
Kevin those shots are great, in fact they are art, you are being to modest and selling yourself short.

Job well done, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your continued support, RS. Glad you like the images.

Thanks, Paul.

As always, a source of inspiration and love for photography. Simple and beautiful.
The music just adds to the simplicity and tender emotions of the images. Bravo!
Thanks, Michael.
Such elegance and beauty, huge fan of your work Kevin. Keep up the great work, you are inspirational.
Thanks, Stuart - I appreciate the kind words and encouragement.
This has to be one of the most beautiful videos I've seen! Stunning photos and a wonderful approach to photography.
Thank you, Branislav. That's really kind!
This is so mind blowingly beautiful
Thanks, Daniel - very kind.
You are so professional at capturing emotions and gestures, and such a master of family images.
Thank you :-)
Wow this is really great stuff. Really... outstanding.
Thanks, Jim.
These are great Kevin, not too saccharine, very classy set of photos the family must have been over the moon with them. I wish I had taken the time to photograph my children in the same way before they grew up and left home.
Thanks, Sue. I know how you feel. My children are growing up fast and I spent most nights thinking that I haven't taken enough images of them.
Excellent, as always Kevin. I wish I would’ve done more of this with my own family before the kids grew up. Making up for lost time every chance I get. Thanks for the continued inspiration.
Thank you for sharing your images and inspiration. A really nice set of images and a great video. Thanks
Just lovely! You se the smal things that make a Stunning photo. I learn some new everytime I watch your videos but the most important. They are so inspiering. Keep up the good work and keep posting. Per
Thanks for the encouragement Per. I'll keep going as long as I can think of something to talk about :-)
my goodness - beautiful!
Excellent suggestion with setting the camera to black and white. Great video and like usual excellent images.
Thanks, Seth.
Absolutely stunning images. My fave is at 11.00, What a beautiful keepsake these images are for this family.
Thanks, John. They are a lovely family to shoot too, which helps a lot.
As always,Outstanding. I felt like I was drawn into the family with your slide show. I love your black and white work and it always wants to make me set my X pro 2 to Acros and the heck with everything else. And I do. :)
What can you say! Brilliant!!
Jim
Beautiful, beautiful images!! The contrast and depth of B & W is superb!!
Beautiful images! I love your work Kevin!
Beautiful memories.
Just WOW Kevin, just WOW! I’m inspired to do this now with my family! Really wish that Fujifilm would push out eterna and acros as updates for the rest of us mortals (xt-1 and below)!
Sadly, I think both Eterna and Acros are unlikely to come to the XT1.....
Beautiful images Kevin. Apologies if I missed it in the video, but the files you show are .tif, yet they were shot on the GFX and X cameras - did you convert them before outside of LR ?
Great & beautiful. Master!
Thank you!
Some delightful images there Kevin, well done!
Cheers, Barry. See you in a couple of weeks :-)
Excellent images as always and explanation of your thought processes thank you
Stunning!
Thank you!
"Fantabuloustatic" aka fantastic + fabulous :)) - as usual, love you work Kevin!
lol - thanks :-)
Wonderful pictures Kevin. Once More.
Thanks, Peter.

Hope the weddings go well for you this weekend 👍
Thanks, Derek. I once dropped my X100S to the bottom of a swimming pool and it still works :-)
Excelente trabajo.

Your black and white photos have a nice warm tone that I’m unable to achieve in camera.
You won't be able to get this directly from the camera, unfortunately. Now, if only Fujifilm allowed us to have a strength slider on the Sepia filter :-)
stunning work
Wonderful!❤️
What is that music you use in the photo slide-show near the end of the video? It is beautiful and I want to listen to it while I work! I do hear Debussy I believe in the first part of your video while you discuss the photos. I wonder if the second song in the video over the slideshow is also Debussy?
I can't remember the actual track but it will have been from Artlist.io .
wow fantastic shots!
great insight and loved watching this!
Thank you!
Awesome as usual. Hope you will make that across Jpeg video editing sometime.
It'll come.... :-)

It’s shot on an xt2 and in this case in flog and graded in Premier Pro later. Cheers
Thank you Kevin; it's good to see someone shooting video for a vlog on their Fuji. I feel like the video coming out of the Fuji is vastly underestimated at this point.
Brilliant pics Kevin!!! Stupendous!
Beautiful images love the b&w.please more about spot metering thanks.
Thanks, Shaun. Will try and discuss it more in a further video.
Beautiful imagery and story... I have done a few 'day in the life' shoots prior to being a Fuji shooter, and but your work is making me want to do more of these sessions. I would have loved to have images of my childhood like these. Great job!

Anywhere between 50 and 100 for something like this.
Cool. Thanks for the quick reply 👍😊
Wonderful set Kevin.
May bump into you in Suffolk lol!
It's raining :-)
Kevin Mullins Yep! Got an equestrian shoot Saturday...hope its better for that 😀
Amazing 🤗🤗
As usual, Faaaaantastic!!!
Could you please share your b&w settings?
Thanks!
Hi Shahzad, He has a specific YT video on this very subject. Check it out,Cheers
hi mr mullins could you do a video on how to scedule or plan your day out for a wedding where to start to what you should cover last . thanks
love your work it inspire me everyday i my self am a documentary photographer but wish to become a documentary wedding photographer im gonna work hard and learn all that i can to make it happen thanks again take care .
I see the 'candid' style of shooting with the x100f as executable, not sure how would that work with the GFX??? No idea how you do it?!
Thanks. GFX is a little slower, probably the same as the X-T1 was, but certainly usable for this kind of shooting.
Is your priority shooting for the highlights??
"Could you please share your b&w settings?" Same question from me. The film simulations have so many settings!
Hi Sudeep , he has a specific YT video on this very subject using Lightroom and it's well worth watching. Check it out.Cheers
Yup, as MusicJunky3 says - there is a video dedicated to it on the channel. :-)
how's the fuji gfx ?
Ace!
Love your images but pls are they just put in strong sunlight and expose for that?
I don't put them anywhere. Wheverever the clients go, then I'll shoot - and in this case, it was in very strong sunlight so I had to deal with it on the day.
are these bw images SOOC?
are all these shots taken without flash?
No flash at all.
focal length?
nevermind
Why do I bother...
It's all subjective, Robin. Believe me, I look at other peoples work and I think the same. In fact, I was looking at some of your street images the other day and was really in awe of them. You are a very good shooter.
Kevin Mullins Thanks for the kind words Kevin.. means a lot
