Photowalk: Norwich On Foot with Carol Hartfree & Liz Bray

BIOS

Carol Hartfree

FUJIFILM Product Specialist

Carol Hartfree has been obsessed with photography since her early 20s when she got her first SLR film camera.   With a degree in photography, and many years of working as a freelance photographer and trainer, Carol has gained a great deal of technical and creative knowledge.  

Carol is known for her kind and gentle approach to her subject matter; her work being described as 'Photography with a light touch'.  This way of working extends to her teaching, helping photographers get the most out of their equipment and their creative vision, whatever their skill level or experience.

Liz Bray

Liz joined Fujifilm in 2012, and since then she’s been all over the world demonstrating the Fujifilm system.  From Chernobyl to Camargue, you’ll find her with an X-T camera taking photographs of a wide and interesting range of subjects.  Amongst her favourite lenses is the XF 60mm f/2.4 as it gives extremely high detail for macro, whilst also working as an excellent portrait lens for her dog Myrtle.

When she’s not travelling the world Liz runs the Field Team, who are the face of Fujifilm at events and shows or running workshops through the House of Photography.

KIT

You’re welcome to bring your own set-up, although a selection of FUJIFILM X Series products will be available on the day for you to try! As the UK weather is so unpredictable, be sure to pack weather-appropriate clothing, wear comfortable shoes, and take a bottle of water and snack to keep you going. Though we will have a designated break time to rest, catchup and reset, there will be a lot of walking and time spent outside. A limited amount of FUJIFILM kit will be available to try, plus a small selection of 3 Legged Thing tripods and Kase filters where needed.

If you’d prefer to have your own selected equipment, you can arrange a free, 48-hour Try Before You Buy loan in advance.
