This shot of the stunning @julesbunny was taken in a raw warehouse space in downtown Los Angeles… using gear most people would write off as “outdated.”

Camera? The original Sony A9.⁠

Lens? The Sony Zeiss 35mm f/1.4.⁠

Lighting? A well-worn Flashpoint Xplor 600 and an ancient Westcott Halo modifier that’s seen better days.⁠

And yet—look at the result.

This is proof that it’s not the price tag or release year that makes a shot powerful. It’s your eye, your intent, and your creativity. Don’t wait for perfect gear. Learn to see, to shape light, to connect with your subject. That’s where the magic lives.⁠

Shot in: Downtown LA

Gear: Sony A9 + Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 + Flashpoint Xplor 600 + Westcott Halo
