The Man of Many Systems: An Interview with David Taylor-Hughes

02/01/2014 By Heather 5 Comments

Welcome to our series of 100 interviews we will be holding with professional photographers who use mirrorless cameras for work! “Switching to a smaller and lighter system” has become somewhat of a buzz phrase as of late, but many working photographers take this philosophy seriously. From medical reasons such as resolving back and shoulder pain to the simple realisation that bigger does not mean better, photographers are turning to mirrorless systems now more than ever before.

This week’s interview is with David Taylor-Hughes, a photographer, videographer and musician from the English Midlands who has worked for many important clients such as British Airways, Virgin, and all UK national newspapers and television channels. He also runs a popular photography blog called SoundImagePlus, where he and his wife display much of their professional work as well as reviews of the gear they use.

Welcome to the first in a series of 100 interviews we will be holding with professional photographers who use mirrorless cameras for work! “Switching to a smaller and lighter system” has become somewhat of a buzz phrase as of late, but many real working photographers take this philosophy quite seriously. From medical reasons such as resolving back and shoulder pain to the simple realisation that bigger does not mean better, photographers are turning to mirrorless systems now more than ever before.

Our first interviewee is multi-award winning photographer Neil Buchan-Grant from the United Kingdom. He uses the Olympus OM-D E-M1 for his travel and portrait photography, and works closely with Olympus UK.
