For over sixty years, square medium format (like the revered Rolleiflex) dominated fashion and editorial portraiture, wedding and social portraiture. Stunning images were composed within that square that were unlike any other. And then it disappeared.

Stunning quality and simplicity returns with the superb FUJIFILM GFX 50S medium format, and the wonderfully compact X-Pro2 which allow us to not only view and shoot square, but to also pre-visualize the image in black & white – and apply filters in camera.

Shooting square requires different skill sets, thought processes and techniques. Revisit the joy of a portrait experience where the subject and the photographer interact to create the final image. David will show you how to embrace the skill of pre-visualizing, the simplicity of lighting, and the dynamic and forceful statement that square composition can make.

In this presentation, David will provide a study path for attendees about the ‘greats’ who used square format, and how he is applying lessons learnt. Time permitting, he will also demonstrate by photographing selected participants.

It’s not just about “cutting off the edges”. It’s about making a different product to add to your offerings.

David has ‘been at it’ for a good thirty years. He is an Australian-born second generation photographer. Since his move to Toronto, he has won PPOC wedding album of the year twice. He is a Master of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (II), a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, a Master of the WPPI Honours System, and a recipient of the Accolade Lifetime Achievement Award, also from WPPI.
