FRIENDS
Let’s start from the beginning, from our first tester!
Margherita Borsano carried her figosa during her trip in Japan.
She overworked it and she was very good in highlighting some imperfections in the first version of the strap!
We strongly recommend you to take a look to her site because it really merits consideration!
.
.
Then we began to explore the blogs world and we have been immediately involved by the enthusiasm of Pretty in Mad!
We adore people like us who love photography and she is really one of them!
Her blog is constantly updated and while you’re there, do not miss to take a look to her cute collages!
.
..
.
Just starting from Pretty in Mad we had the possibility to open our window on blogs wide!
We met Silvia, Holga my Dear, who was for us also a valuable guide during our trip to Berlin!
Her blog is about photography, mainly analog photography, and just a few days ago she published a very interesting series of images shot in an abandoned airport in Berlin (that, however, she has not brought us to visit!! ;))
.
.
Then we bumped into one of the most famous American photography blog, The Phoblographer!
Chris is a very nice guy and really well-prepared.
His blog is more than frequently updated! If you are hunting for information or reviews on the latest news, that is the place to find them.
Put it into your favorite sites and you will not do without!

Let’s come back to Italy to present you Carola, Carrie Design, which besides being a talented graphic designer is also in love with photography … and you can see from her fabulous shots!
Snoop her site and do not miss her blog!

Because of our common passion for analogue photography we have known a site whose name immediately reveals its identity … ISO400! The guys who supervise this website have a great passion for photography.
We missed the chance to meet them in Ceva (a little town in Piemonte), during the weekend of art, but there will be surely other opportunities! Follow them, because their love for photography can’t be overlooked and there will soon be an interesting news about a collaboration with figosa!

Let’s go back to the otherside of the world in order to tell you about another “foundation stone” in the photography blogs: Japan Camera Hunter.
Bellamy wrote a beautiful article on our straps, but his blog has to be followed not only for this reason! As in all the blogs we’ve talked about so far, you can breathe photography. It has a large following and it is regularly updated!
.

In Canada figosa has been mentioned by Jon, from Contrastly.
Jon wrote a detailed review of his strap.
Contrastly is a blog about photography and visual arts, born in 2013 and carried out by a dozen people, including photographers, writers and experts from around the world.

We have been recently contacted by a brand new all-Italian project and we have immediately decided to join.
3: mezzi is an online magazine that will come out in July!
We are very confident about it, so take a note and be ready to flip through the pages!

Just while we were creating this page about “our friends”, we had the chance to get in touch with Jacob from London, creator of 50mm Creative blog, trough a tweet he published on Twitter once he received his wrist strap at home.
We really appreciated his love for figosa and, in general, for photography (take a look to his very cute figosa’s review and his beautiful shots published on the blog).
…

Time is passing, but the enthusiasm for figosa stays!
This time our new friends come from the North, from the United Kingdom! Fluster Magazine is dealing with photography intended in ample sense and the great innovation is that anyone can submit and publish his works.
We support them on their brand new initiative “SWAPPA”. Find more info and details directly from their website.

Just to be defined as one of the Italian Excellences is a big honor, moreover if we are talking about Lomography, a well-known name in photography! Lomography Italia, thanks to Silvia Ianniciello, published on its web magazine an interview to Laura and Andrea, the two Figosa’s creators: this filled us with pride!
.
.
As soon as we knew Cameron Kline from Film Shooters Collective, we understood his strong enthusiasm and interest on Figosa’s project. These feelings are evident inside his article: he published a very honest, original and detailed review about Figosa straps ………………………………………………. (with scratch protection).
.
For sure in this brief overview of our friends story we could have forgotten someone … that’s inevitable … but please know that all of you are in our hearts!
Now let’s stop talking! Let’s go out to shoot! The sun is shining!
