Here are 55 of the photographs I took using the Fujifilm X-T1 during the making of Illumination. As you can see we went to many varied locations from dusty cellars to palaces and from ploughed fields to beaches at sunset. Enjoy…

We shot at Wentworth Woodhouse in Yorkshire, Backwell House in Somerset plus a woodland, field and beach near Clevedon in Somerset.

There are 18 chapters in the full production and it runs for just under two hours. The project took just over four months to plan, shoot and edit and we were very grateful for the support of the team at Fujifilm UK. Fujifilm commissioned 5 of the chapters to help the project reach fulfilment.

    Great to see photographs from a few movie clips in one place. I absolutely love the blue bells picture. The bokeh is just right. Was it 56mm wide open? Statue one with Victoria is a cracker too. Great work Damien.

      Hi Martin,

      Thank you for the compliments. I’m not sure what the aperture setting on the bluebells picture was. It is in the video as are all the settings used for each shot. Victoria and I had fun making that shot :)

      Cheers, Damien.
