Thoughts on 70-200mm Lenses

In this episode, I break down how to be a terrible photographer — and more importantly, how to avoid the most common mistakes in wedding photography and professional photography in general. After attending two weddings as a guest, I found myself doing what photographers do best: observing, critiquing, and analyzing everything from lens choice to positioning, movement, communication, editing, and professionalism. If you’re a wedding photographer (or aspire to be one), this episode will challenge you. We talk about: • Why standing still with a 70-200mm lens kills creativity • How shooting everything at eye level makes your work boring • The importance of communication between wedding photo and video teams • Why knowing your camera inside out matters more than gear • Editing with intention, sequencing, and eliminating redundancy • Why presets and trendy color grading won’t fix weak images Whether you shoot Leica, Sony, Fuji, or anything else — this is about integrity, effort, movement, and intention. If you’re a professional wedding photographer or an amateur looking to improve your photography skills, this episode is about raising your standards and protecting your reputation.
