Using the Olympus OM-D E-M1 for Head Shot Photography – Interview with Damon Hunter

04/03/2016 By Heather

Welcome to our series of 100 interviews we will be holding with photographers who use mirrorless cameras for their work! “Switching to a smaller and lighter system” has become somewhat a buzz phrase as of late, but many working photographers take this philosophy seriously. From medical reasons such as resolving back and shoulder pain to the simple realisation that bigger does not mean better, photographers are turning to mirrorless systems now more than ever before.

This week’s interview is with Damon Hunter, a professional head shot photographer and actor from Victoria, Australia who specialises in actors and corporate. He switched from Nikon to the Olympus OM-D E-M1 for all his photography, both professional and personal, and hasn’t looked back since.

Welcome to our series of 100 interviews we will be holding with professionals who use mirrorless cameras for their work! Since these cameras are excellent tools for both stills and video work, we decided to share the experience of a professional filmmaker for a change. 🙂

This week’s interview is with Brandon Li, a talented director, cinematographer and video editor from Los Angeles who is constantly travelling the globe. He switches between commercial work and original documentary-styled videos shot with his Sony A7s during his many journeys around the world. His work is very popular on Vimeo and has been selected as “Pick of the week” more than once. We first came across Brandon’s work on Sonyalpharumors.
