Adorama has launched a new mini documentary series called “Through the Lens,” or TTL for short. It’s a weekly online show that will explore “the evolving aesthetic of photography as seen through this generation’s creator class.”
Two episodes have been released in the series so far. Both of them are 5-minute profiles of popular Instagram photographers. It’s a look at who they are and how they work.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
