Focus and Flourish

It’s Not About the Gear (But Here’s What We Use)


Listen Later

We’re firm believers that great photography is more about skill than kit.

Creativity, storytelling, and understanding light will always matter more than having the latest gear. But since many of you have asked, we’re pulling back the curtain on what we use to get the job done.

In this episode, we share the cameras, lenses, and tools we rely on in our food photography work and why we chose them.

We’re also chatting about our experience with Tether Tools (our Season 2 sponsor!) and how tethering has helped improve our workflow on set.
