The ninth edition of Lens Curator’s fourth season brings you 5 new excerpts from the world of photography and videography. This month we take a look at DSLRvsMirrorless, how to get video jobs, how to shoot on a steadicam, new gear for food photography, and creative process for taking a picture.

But Ted Forbes from Tha Art Of Photography begs to differ about the DSLR demise thesis. He said:” Your gear doesn’t matter beyond picking the right tool for the right job. What matters is what you have to say as a photographer and how you communicate visually.”

Food photography equipment in 2019
Foodie photographers rejoice! TinHouse Studio breaks down his gear for us in this great video. Food photography is a bit of an umbrella term and within the field, there are loads of different niches so it makes it near impossible to give generic advice.
