Autographer: Trapped behind the lens

I’ve recently started doing some work for Autographer – the world’s first intelligent wearable camera. My first piece for them, called ‘Trapped behind the lens’ has just gone live on their blog here.

I spent some of last week out in the Spring sunshine putting Panasonic’s new super tough Lumix FT3 camera through it’s paces at the beach.
