Artist Profile: George Bucur

George Bucur is a friend and an inspiration. His work is always evolving. The progression of his work is deeply rooted in the passion for automobiles. 

This is the first of an artist profile series I will be undertaking in the coming months. Throughout the years of being a photographer, I have worked and met many creatives. We all have our own story to tell and reason for pursuing our craft. 

This would be one of the first times I shoot using ProRes RAW on the Nikon Z6. It’s a given the file sizes will be huge for all that data to be retained but the flexibility might be worth it. I was able to retrieve and use shots that were completely gone due to my errors while shooting. This was a run and gun shoot which was completely handheld. This flexibility in editing was something I am only used to in photography.

All data amounted to ~350GB. When shooting N-LOG, it would have been ~130GB. It will be hard, but I will have to delete the clips following editing. ProRes RAW is simply fantastic and working with the files in Final Cut Pro 10 was fantastic. The color wheels actually do something now!
