Are better cameras making photography worse? In this episode of the Camera Shake Photography Podcast, Kersten Luts sits down with technology broadcaster, consumer champion and Photography & Video Show Podcast host David McClelland to explore how modern camera technology is reshaping photography and videography.
From smartphones and computational photography to mirrorless cameras, compact point-and-shoots and hybrid photo-video workflows, David examines whether increasingly powerful tools are helping photographers become more creative—or simply making technically polished images easier to produce. The conversation also looks at why smartphones have transformed image-making, why camera manufacturers still struggle with connectivity, how social media is changing visual storytelling, and why limitations can sometimes lead to stronger photographs.
David shares stories from his career in television, technology journalism and self-shooting production, including filming with early iPhones, working with professional camera systems and adapting to smaller tools such as the DJI Osmo Pocket.
Whether you are an amateur photographer, professional image-maker, videographer or content creator, this thoughtful conversation will help you separate genuinely useful technology from distracting specifications and gear obsession.
