051 - Picture Perfect Lies: Exploring Common Myths in Photography Pt. 1
Editorial photographer and YouTuber Rob Hall and I take a DEEP dive into a variety of photography industry myths and tropes, from whether or not gear matters to the classic UV filter debate. We talk about photographers literally giving themselves heart attacks from working too much, why the answer to pretty much any question is "it depends", and I tell Rob how a UV filter saved a $2000 lens while I was on a shoot. About Rob Hall Robert Hall is an editorial photographer in southeast Michigan. He shares informative photography and lighting content as a video creator, podcaster, and writer.
