Zack Arias is known for his OneLight mantra and has been making waves for the past few years as a standout commercial and editorial photographer in Atlanta. Kai over at DigitalRev got him out in a Chinese back alley for a round of Pro Photographer Cheap Camera.
In this episode, Zack gets stuck with a full-auto Kodak C142 digital camera and a single speedlight. Then, he has to figure out how to make the two work together and turn out something respectable.
It’s worth a watch to see just how much Zack can pull out of a $79 camera and a single speedlight.
Sometimes necessity drives our choices. I’ve heard some photographers carry lots of gear simply because they think their clients expect it. After spending many years carrying a ton of gear, I am now moving towards lighter gear that allows me to be more nimble. This is what I see in the basis of “One Light”.
