Joel's go-to setup for video is a Sony FX3 paired with a 24–70mm f/2.8, a combination he relies on for most things, from music videos to documentary-style projects. Over the years, he's also worked with Sony Alpha cameras, including the Sony A7C II, and cinema cameras such as the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. For photography, he currently reaches for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II. But despite all the gear that's come since, his Canon EOS 600D remains the camera that sparked it all.
