About The Hosts

Daniel English has been shooting photos and video since he was in high school, and has since expanded that interest into freelance videography. Daniel enjoys analyzing technical details and likes to dig in and understand the inner workings of camera gear, and is always in search of the right tool for each job. He’s also interested in the process and organizational aspects of managing large filming projects.

Lucas Stockburger has always been interested in films and cameras, and values photography as a way to capture personal memories as well as a creative outlet. When he’s not taking pictures of his dogs, Lucas enjoys creating short films and gear review videos. He also is drawn to the experimentation aspect of photography, and is constantly testing cameras and other gear to better understand how things work. He and Daniel frequently work together on freelance projects, leading to in-depth discussions about filming and editing in a team environment.
