Our team of X-Photographers consists of a talented bunch of photographers based in the UK, who love Fujifilm! Shooting a variety of subjects, the X-Photographers have a wealth of photographic experience and knowledge (many of them run workshops, so keep an eye out), and we wanted to introduce you to the team.
