Just had my interview for ePHOTOzine published! Check it out on http://www.ephotozine.com/article/ephotozine-talks-to-joas-souza--26001
Coming soon at VIETCAFE Haymarket, my exhibition displaying some of my best shoots taken on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
After 6 years of hard work, it is time to say goodbye to my warrior Tamrac Expedition 5 Backpack Camera Bag, my equipment got bigger and this new generation of lenses are even bulkier, I had to move on and get a bigger bag, this time, I got the outstanding ThinkTank Airport Series and I really hope that it wil last even longer! Time will tell.
I couldn't wait another day to test the new 24mm TS-E II and the new set of Formatt ND filters that just arrived. I couldn't spend much time testing it, had a meeting to attend just after, but was enough to have a taste of what I will be able to do.
The september edition of Selfbuild&Design Magazine is featuring as cover page, one of my images made to the interior designer Gianna Camilotti about her Church Conversion. On sale now!
I just received my new Canon 24mm TS-E f/3.5 lens, after many years of hard work I'm now retiring my old one! The new one comes with a superb optical quality, totally redesigned, been the first lens (together with the 17mm TS-E) to have an independent rotation of the tilt and shift axes relative to the camera and to each other!
Previously the tilt axis was set as standard at 90º to the shift axis, and the lenses could be modified to set them both in the same axis if the user desired. This restriction has now been discarded, making the lens movements, and therefore creative options, much more flexible. The tilt and shift mechanism rotates +/-90°, allowing shift in any direction, and in addition the tilt mechanism independently rotates +/-90°, allowing tilt in any direction relative to the shift. This functionality enables me to maximize depth of field in their images without stopping down as far as they would otherwise need - essential when wishing to squeeze every last pixel of detail from the latest 20+ Mp DSLRs while avoiding the deleterious effects of diffraction.
Canon has also gone to town on the the optical designs, including the use of high-precision aspherical front elements to keep distortion to a minimum, and multiple UD elements to reduce chromatic aberration. In the case of the TSE 24mm F3.5 L II, this means a considerably more complex formula than its predecessor - 16 elements in 11 groups, as compared to the 11 elements in 9 groups of the older design. According to Canon, the usable image circle is also much larger - 67.2mm as opposed to 58.6mm - which in principle allows a greater range of movements without vignetting. The lens also utilizes the company's new 'Sub-Wavelength Structure Coating', which is designed to reduce flare and ghosting dramatically in lenses that contain large curve-radius elements - most notably wideangles. Also included is the currently-fashionable circular aperture diaphragm, designed to give an appealing rendition to out-of-focus regions of the image.
Well, I can't wait to put this amazing lens in the field! You shall see the results soon!

Within a month the British Museum WCEC will be complete and ready to be photographed. Meanwhile I got this snapshot and I'll start my researches about the sun position during this time of the year, the weather, all possible angles and the equipment necessary to get extraordinary shots.
Today I had the pleasure to phographer the lovely and brand new office of the See Saw Studios in Chinford, London. Here is some of the images taken. Thanks girls for the cooperation and patience, I'm looking forward to photograph all the projects that we discussed about.

Read MoreFRONT, the most awarded designer rug collections! I've been commisioned by them to photograph the London branch. Incredible rugs, beautiful shop.
The Thames Barrier - This futuristic-looking structure, which controls the flow of the river Thames, is one of the most popular landmarks for photographers in the capital. Every day, each light and shadow will render this a different place. Most of the photos of The Barrier I have seen were made in colour, so I decided to capture some in black & white, thus concentrating on the beauty of the structure, its phenomenal shape and materials.

Read MoreToday’s photo of the day and next week’s photo of the week, chosen from our online portfolio is The Mason by Joas Souza.
We really loved this image because of how the photographer has flipped the one image to create an interesting symmetrical image. We like how the objects in the image have created an interesting pattern for the viewer to look at. We love the perspective the photographer has used, looking downwards with the camera and the use of black-and-white which adds to the contrast for the image.
