I love photographing people, the randomness of life, and beautiful light as I find it. I will say though that doing the show has pleasantly forced me into many other fields of photography. For the show i now have to do landscapes, people, architecture, and even a little food once in awhile. It’ s helped me grow quite abit.
Tell us what would be the perfect day for you( taking photos)
My perfect day taking photos would actually be to put the camera in a bag and go fly fishing or shooting firearms instead. Maybe a nice canoe ride or hike. But if i still take the camera with me that counts right!? I am thankful that the show keeps. me shooting on a regularly basis so that I can pursue other things I want in my freetime.
Back to Youtube and podcasts in general, where do you see this media in say 5 years?
That’ s tough one to predict. We will obviously always want media at our fingertips from now on. The age of scheduled programming is over and we want it how we want it, when we want it. On demand. My oldest son is twelve and YouTube is such a big part of there age group now. They will grow up to be the producers of content in the future and from what I can tell now, it’ s gonna be a video game world.
Some of our favourite shows are yours and also was, Digital Rev that seems to have gone into hiatus since Kai, Lok and Alamby moved on, do you have any thoughts on that? Can they or will they bounce back?
That was a big change for sure and I’ m surprised they didn’ t try to at least keep the engine going more fervently. I’ m happy for kai and lok though. They seem way more creative and way happier too now. In the end the show is really it’ s people and not it’ s brand so I’ m happy to see followers joining the ex digital rev crew in their future endeavours.
For readers who’ d like to perhaps get into creating a channel or even a podcast what do you and Jordan and the team do to prepare for an episode?
Say goodbye to our families and disappear for hours and hours until the children barely recognize us. Im joking, but only slightly. It’ s lots of hours and lots of work and Jordan and I easily spend more time together than with anyone else. Kinda scary... for him mostly. Anyone getting started on a channel should be passionate about it and give themselves over to it.
A fun couple of questions, when you and Jordan have a few drinks to do your gear show, who drinks the most and what’ s the choice of beverage?
Weve done quite a few now and it varies from pitcher sized old fashions, to straight whisky, to craft beer. He always drinks more because he loses all the drinking challenges. We need to find something he can beat me at to level the playing field. I’ m also thinking tequila...
Let’ s say you can choose one camera and one lens to go on a holiday, what would you take? Let’ s say a warmer climate like Asia in spring..
For me personally I use Panasonic and own a GH5. For me it’ s the ideal combo of stills and video. Jordan also has one and loves it for that very same reason. It has to be appreciated that the lenses and tripods required are also smaller for micro 4 / 3rds and this all helps to make them ideal travel cameras.
What bag would you choose for that trip?
I’ m digging the Manfrotto bags lately. I like their green street series bit overall they are stylish enough and affordable. We’ re looking into the peak design gear as well and if I had unlimited finds I’ d probably own a few ona bags by now.
What’ s your favourite photo you have taken so far?
