What if losing all your gear was the best thing that ever happened to your photography?
In this episode, Lilly shares the story of a major gear theft in Los Angeles and how it unexpectedly transformed her entire approach behind the lens. From hauling multiple cameras and lenses to embracing a one-camera, one-lens setup, this shift didn’t just lighten the load, it unlocked more creativity, freedom, and intentionality.
We dive into the power of simplifying your gear, staying prepared with smart backups, and why the emotional experience you create will always matter more than the tools you use. Whether you’re overwhelmed by all the tech or just curious about minimal setups, this episode will challenge how you think about your gear.
Feeling weighed down by your equipment?
Your photography doesn’t need more. It needs meaning. Go lighter, create deeper.
