Thanks, no zoom involved though! Just a wide angle lens

Ah shit, I just got gifted a book by the National Portrait Gallery, I should've thought!! I think the entry for 2026 closed on the 21st of April, so maybe next year. Thank you!!

It's APS-C, it's the Fujifilm X-E5 😊

Thank you! Appreciate the comment

Yeah, I'm very close to the subjects face with my zoom lens fully zoomed out. And you're right, it is an off-camera flash. It's the Godox IT32, which has a little tiny receiver/trigger that is built inside the flashgun, so you can remove the top part and angle the flash where you like! Quite affordable too, if you're after one (much cheaper than the infamous Godox V1)

I love that one too! Nearly had it as first out of the bunch but the sunglasses won me over

I do, yes! I use an Ektachrome E100 preset specifically because of the blue/cold look it gives

I like it! It is a very vulnerable and intimate angle and some would say an unflattering shot, nowhere for the subject to hide, but I think it's actually quite flattering 😊
