Today, on Dial and Aperture, Nacho and Morgan discuss the latest photography gear that’s caught their eye this year. This includes lenses, cameras, and even flashes. Will they end up buying any of it? It seems rather likely, but only time will tell. They also catch up on tattoo progress, settling into new routines, and the usual chitchat. They wrap up the show with a couple of great Snapshots, including a handy bit of software and a buy-once, cry-one bit of kit that every watch photographer should own.

Show Notes / Snapshots:

In this week’s episode of Dial and Aperture, Morgan and Nacho explore the importance of authentic photography in watch marketing and criticize the overuse of digital renders and stock images. They discuss how real images tell better stories and connect more deeply with audiences. Before that, they quickly catch up: Nacho is in Holland, doing some work at Fratello HQ, and Morgan has been keeping busy with work for an upcoming VPC launch. They wrap up the show with Snapshots that include a great YouTube video and a photographer worth following for some Fujifilm medium-format goodness.
