Marcel Knobil, founder of VeryFirstTo, Superbrands and Cool BrandLeaders says: “With a significant amount of VeryFirstTo members in the UK, Italy and the US; the research indicates that we look beyond our home countries when identifying exceptional beauty and think about our homeland when it comes to identifying ugliness. One can only salivate at the prospect of photographing these incredibly beautiful destinations; personally I think London is one of the world’s most wonderful cities, however I acknowledge that perhaps not even Fujifilm’s X-T1 could deliver an alluring image of its more grimy parts.”
