Fer Juaristi












I picked up my first camera in high school. I asked my teacher if I could take it home for the weekend. He said yes. I took some (bad) pictures.
But that was also some of my best work. That was the work that helped me realize I wanted to live out of a camera for the rest of my life.
I wanted to make my camera a passport to other people’s lives. And needed my camera to mean total trust.
When I am living out of my camera, I need my clients to understand the kind of photographer they are getting. The husband, the father, the crazy guy who is treating their wedding as an experiment.
My kit:
Nikon Df with Sigma 35mm f/1.4
Nikon Df with Sigma 85mm f/1.4
Leica M6
An LED light & 2 flashes.
Fer you must update this!!
please ! we want to know what are you using at this moment in your career.
big hug.
Well this is why I respect guys like Fer who simply said it all – “the crazy guy who is treating their wedding as an experiment.” RESPECT man, you are nailing those ‘experiments’ :)
So simple and perfect
i shoot with even less, two cameras, two lenses, holdfast. Thats it.
Perfect minimalism!!
So simple, so effective.
A very stylish and light set up!
And, what more do you actually need – it’s got me thinking : )
Me encanta el kit de Fer! es increíble lo que puede hacer con tan poco!
saludos desde Córdoba ;)
I am hoping Canon are gonna come up with a large mirrorless retro full frame body. as will be investing in one. Have my Holdfast strap on order. :-)
I love this! Fer’s perspective is always so refreshing. It’s great to see him being so successful all while doing his own thing!
Fer, tu equipo es reducido y pequeño pero tu y tus fotos son grandes, muy grandes, estoy seguro que tu y tus fotos se entraran a formar parte de la historia de la fotografia, grande eres muy grande, ………….sed feilices.
The awesomest kit of them all.
BTW, the photos are ‘just’ the same :)
Great choice, keep it simple. I’d like to try the nikon DF soon. Be happy!
what camera bag is that?
Langly Bag :)
It’s rare to have a lightbulb moment online….this was it. Thank you thank you thank you. (I’m so sick of lugging lots of gear).
Why the yongnuo triggers were not mentioned, they are great…!!
AH, I was trying to work out what those things were :p
Hello Eder, Sorry, which Youngnuo are those for Nikon? YN-602?? Are those for Manual work only?
Thank you so much. Alberto
Menos es mas. Grandioso Fer :) Te esperamos en Perú :)
Por cierto ¿No que usabas Sigma? ¿Qué paso, regresaste a Nikon?
Is that not a sigma 35 on the left? I’m hoping I’m geek enough to have got this right?
Yes it is Bob, great spot! Fer just corrected me too – apparently he uses the Sigma lenses.
Less to carry=less tired=more power to shoot awesome wedding photos!
This has got to be the coolest kit I have ever seen. I feel burdened by the excess I am familiar with taking to each wedding/portrait/commercial and having not used half of it for the shoot.
I listed to Fer’s podcast with Andrew Hellmich this week and he is a dude! This guy gets it so much and sees life from every practical angle. Total respect.
