A presentation of alternative softwares
I am going to present in this article my photo and video editing workflow which does not use any of the Adobe software suite. I’m personally a fan of their pricing strategy so I tried to find worthy alternatives.
First, a warning: this workflow works for my specific case as I tailored it for my use, therefore it cannot fit every videographer’s or photographer’s needs. For example, I never do local retouching of my photos, so I have no use of the tools found in a software like Photoshop. But I thought it was still interesting to share it.
I edit my photos in DaVinci Resolve, which is first and foremost a video editing and color grading software. I explain why I use it here, and how to edit Raw files in Resolve in this article. So keep in mind that this is not a normal workflow that will be presented below.

A small post to talk about the replacement of the factory installed LCD protector on a Sony a7r2 with a GGS Larmor Gen V
Even by taking care of my camera, protecting it as well as I could from humidity, drips of water and impacts, I noticed a rapid degradation of the LCD protection. I originally though that the protection was peeling away from the LCD but after some time searching on the internet, I found that other users had the same issue and that it was in fact the protector itself which was desintegrating.

This first blog post will be about the construction of a DIY lighting rig.
WHY BUILD MY OWN LIGHTING ?
Like a lot of aspiring filmmakers I’ve been confronted to the difficulty of finding good cheap lights. Even if it’s possible to use natural light up to a certain point, nothing beats dedicated lighting systems for fiability and consistency of light quality.
Some use consumer lightbulbs, other use contruction site spotlights, but even if it’s possible to get good results, a lot of limitations were felt :
