In the video below he shares one of his favorite tips - to become a member of Sony Pro Support! He explains it in the caption stating, “If something happens to your gear, it usually takes a while to get fixed. Like 6-8 weeks long. You have to ship your gear in, you're left without gear and then have to rent... too big of a headache. Sony Pro Support helps solve that headache, and has been something I couldn't recommend more. This video isn't sponsored but it's a no brainer in my eyes, and wanted to tell you about it in case you didn't already know about it.”

Meiji Nguyen – @meiji_nguyen_photography

His TikToks give a behind the scenes look at his shoots, including the set he uses, the lighting setup, and some glimpses into how he directs and poses his models. If you are looking for sophisticated images, he is a must-follow!

We love seeing the behind the scenes in this video, all the direction and effort that goes into making an image look effortless. He shot the resulting image with the Sony Alpha 7R IV and the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master II lens. Photographing motion like the hair in this shot or a ballerina in movement is no easy feat, we tip our hats to Meiji for his skill!

Nathan shoots with the Sony ZV-1, though he admits he has his eye on the Sony ZV-E1, which he describes as “basically my dream camera.” He also talks about his audio setup along with his lighting setup, which does include a random light bulb he found in his house.

Her TikToks talk through her creative process and then reveal the final commercial – we love this “moisturizer thirst trap” below. She shoots with the Sony Alpha 7S III and the Sony 50mm f/2.8 Macro lens.
