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 ?
