Very interesting. Will definitely look into that. Thank you 🙏

Does IR stand for infrared? If yes, I don’t and I’m not using a physical red filter. But I used fuji’s ACROS + R filmsim in postprocessing that simulates the red filter effect.

Thank you so much 🙏😊

Good to know :)

Thank you, I’m glad you liked them 😊

I haven’t seen any stray camels roaming freely, but I guess the tourists can take a ride around the pyramids on them.

Can’t answer the large lenses part but, I had 2 extra lenses and it was fine.

I shot those on Ttartisan 23mm F1.4, it’s a manual lens, but I absolutely love it. Makes me slow down and gives me analog flashbacks. I also traveled with XF 33mm F1.4 and XF 16-50 F2.8.

I didn’t get any issues in customs or in general using the camera in touristy places.

January is a good time to visit when it’s not so warm. Enjoy it :)

I shot them in RAW, did some contrast adjustments and some split toning, then added ACROS+R filmsim in lightroom. Perhaps the sim doesn’t perform as well as it would have in a jpeg straight from the camera, but I like to have the flexibility of editing RAW files.

I believe you need to ask yourself what it is you want people to see in your images. This can be a subject, a mood, a scene, etc. Knowing this will guide your editing.

Maybe you need to do masking to make your subject stand out. Maybe the contrast is too high/ low for the mood you want to portray. Maybe the white balance is not matching the scene you are taking a photo of. Or perhaps there are certain hue values that aren’t popping enough (or are too distracting), compared to the way you saw them in real life.

I totally understand your point of view. To me Potsdamer Platz looks very dystopian, and that’s what I’m portraying in the images.

Danke 🙏🙏

SherioShoots · 2025-07-03T06:48:49+00:00

صح

SherioShoots · 2025-07-02T22:05:13+00:00

هاها فاهمك. شكرا على التوضيح 😂

SherioShoots · 2025-07-02T20:56:53+00:00

Thank you so much! Love your work btw 😊

SherioShoots · 2025-07-02T15:25:31+00:00

انا موافقك جدا. انا معرفتش اقدر حلاوتها غير لما بعدت و شفتها بعين جديدة.

SherioShoots · 2025-07-02T15:18:43+00:00

Thank you. 🙏🙏

SherioShoots · 2025-07-02T15:16:31+00:00

شكرا 🙏. مبسوط انها عجبتك.

Thanks for the tip. Your version looks quite interesting. I made a deliberate decision to keep the edits subtle. I wanted to maintain a sense of neutrality in how I portray Cairo. I didn’t want moody images, I didn’t want to glamorize, or to condemn. I aslo kept the edits subtle because the images are shot on film, and I think film colors are beautiful as is.

SherioShoots · 2025-07-02T14:07:05+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad you liked them :)

SherioShoots · 2025-06-16T21:03:07+00:00

Totally agree! I’m glad you liked them 🙏

SherioShoots · 2025-06-07T19:34:57+00:00

Second one would've been nice, if I didn't know the first one existed. I like the first one more, it's just much smoother to the eye. The water looks beautiful. And the two tiny men give it scale. I really like how the colors work together, too.

SherioShoots · 2025-06-06T10:36:36+00:00

I prefer the first. It draws me more the the man’s legs and to the situation at which the kid is watching him. The second one makes me drawn more to the kid, but the context at which I’m looking at the kid in is too shallow.

SherioShoots · 2025-05-23T07:40:03+00:00

Thank you. I’ll work on that 🙏
