Do What You Want!

A lot of people think I’m being paid to travel and make these films, and the answer to that assumption is NOT AT ALL. I actually lose money on these trips. I don’t get free hotel stays, I don’t get paid to promote some brand or silly product and I often I pay the way for my friends and family to come along and enjoy the experience with me. It’s not about $ for me, I’ve come to find I just really really enjoy doing it. I love to get out of my comfort zone, explore what this beautiful world has to offer, and capture it on film. The older you get, the more you realize how quickly life passes you by. It sounds so cliche, but we all know it, life seems like life is moving in fast forward sometimes, and we also know it can end in the blink of an eye, without warning. I say all this to say, whatever it is you want to do, do it, and if you can’t yet, then work really hard so you can.

I hope ya'll enjoy my latest travel film "Amazing Thailand" If you're curious as to what gear I used to film and make this video I've included a list of the various pieces of camera equipment I used below.

Gear Flat Lay! (Ultimate Travel Photography & Videography Gear)

On my most recent adventure to Hawaii I took with me the largest amount of gear I've ever taken on a trip! My buddy and I were running all around the island with just a massive amount of gear! We got to talking and joking about how much stuff we had with us, and that we should take a cool flat lay picture, because I guarantee people are going to want to know what we shot everything with. Check out our Hawaii short film here “Playful Heart - Hawaii”. Also, Make sure to check out the comphrehensive list of all the gear we took on our trip!

My go-to camera setup when running around the island was the Sonya7sii paired with the metabones canon mount adapter and Canon 16-35mm f4 lens run on top of the Devin Graham edition glide cam. Other notable lenses and setups used were the Canon 24-70mm f2.8 lens and the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens. The 24-70mm was mainly used for closeup hand held and detailed shots while the 70-200 was used to capture distant and far away moments like waterfalls, trees, clouds etc. I also heavily used my Sonya7sii paired with the Sony/Zeiss 16-35mm f4 lens in my new Ikelite 8inch dome port underwater housing. Most all underwater shots were shot using this combination of camera, lens, and housing.
