Get Inspired By These Content Creators On TikTok

TikTok is a fantastic way to find community. Sometimes it feels like the algorithm is in your head, delivering you the content you didn’t even know you wanted to see. But the upside of that is you can easily discover and connect with people who have similar interests. There is a huge community of photographers and filmmakers shooting Sony and sharing on TikTok. They are talking about ideas, industry trends, new techniques, and (our personal favorite) gear. Check out these five TikTokers to kickstart your online community. And of course, follow @sonyalpha for more Sony creative content in your feed and the latest from the Alpha Universe.

There's a huge community of photographers and filmmakers on TikTok...we're spotlighting a few that you should be following.

Ashley Xu - @ashhasacamera

Ash Xu is a filmmaker and creator based in Palo Alto, California. She’s also an undergraduate film and television student at the School of Communication at Northwestern University. She hopes to “promote the presence of minority filmmakers in the industry and use the medium as a pathway for societal change.” She became well-known on TikTok for creating pretend commercials in her dorm room. That quickly grew and brands began hiring her to make real commercials! Her TikToks talk through her creative process and then reveals the final commercia – we love this “bagel thirst trap” below.

Royal Ismayilov - @theprovideo.inc

Royal Ismayilov is a freelance filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. He primarily shoots high end car commercials on his Sony Alpha 7S III. He takes his TikTok audience into his editing timeline, behind the scenes of shoots, and much more. We love seeing this car rig setup he uses to get smooth driving shots of the vehicles. Check out his account for more silky smooth footage. 

Madi Price - @madebymap

Madi Price is a videographer and editor who shoots on a Sony Alpha 7S III. She makes relatable content that speaks to the filmmaking community. Often using sarcasm to poke fun at things all filmmakers and photographers experience, such as encouraging photographers to go through all their hard drives and edit the photos that are just sitting there. She also makes video vignettes of her travels and other experiences, such as the one below from her trip to Paris. 

Matteo Velci - @teo_velci

Matteo Velci is a professional Videographer based in California. He is primarily known for his adventure and documenting filmmaking shot on his Sony Alpha 7 III. His TikToks are vignettes of those adventures. He’s currently in Greece and we have been living vicariously through these posts! Be sure to give him a follow for some cinematic inspiration. 

Jay Clark - @jayclarkfilms

Jay Clark is a cinematographer, filmmaker, and storyteller based in Houston, TX. His TikTok showcases his workflow from start to finish. He will walk you through his basic setups, such as the video below where he’s set up for a classic talking head interview using his Sony FX3 and Sony Alpha 7 III. He will also take you into his editing suite. Be sure to check out his account and give him a follow.
