#DZOvespid #lenses #filmmaking

In this episode, I break down one of the most important lessons in filmmaking: finding your creative voice through the lenses you choose. I share my personal journey from shooting on APS-C and Super 35 cameras with popular zoom lenses like the Sigma 18-35mm, to ultimately realizing that I’m a prime lens shooter at heart. While zoom lenses are versatile and widely loved, I explain why I never fully connected with them — and how embracing prime lenses transformed the way I approach composition, movement, and storytelling.

This video dives into the philosophy behind “marry the glass, date the body,” the pros and cons of shooting with primes versus zooms, and how limitations like fixed focal lengths can actually sharpen your creativity. Whether you’re a wedding filmmaker, run-and-gun shooter, or narrative cinematographer, this discussion will help you think more intentionally about lens choice and how it shapes your visual identity.

If you’re a filmmaker trying to discover your style, refine your gear choices, or better understand how lenses influence storytelling, this conversation will give you practical insight grounded in real-world experience.
