‘Agil’, MS Maasdam Nigel Atherton, Editor
Fujifilm X-T3, 56mm, 1/60sec at f/1.4, ISO 800
This year I was invited to become a guest presenter on a cruiseship, and sailed on two voyages. During the first one I started photographing the crew at work to test the limits of the Fujifilm X-T3 kit that I’d taken with me, and before I knew it I found myself shooting a documentary project about crew life, which I continued on my second trip a few months later. This is Agil, from Indonesia, who greets diners at the restaurant. It is one of the first pictures I took, and though I’ve since taken better ones this was the one that first made me think ‘there is a project in this’, and sold me on the idea of doing it in black & white. Shooting a mixture of candid and posed shots, using fast prime lenses and mostly high ISOs, this portrait was captured using the gorgeous XF 56mm F1.2 R, at ISO 800, in Acros mode. I look forward to continuing this project when I return to the MS Maasdam in a few weeks’ time.
