Zach Zamboni, a cinematographer on Anthony Bourdain’s series Parts Unknown, recently spoke about his philosophy of shooting and being creative at an event in Boston. Particularly intriguing was his description of shooting an episode using just two prime lenses and his interest in shooting with Super 16 lenses on the Sony F55.
About cameras, Zamboni said that he doesn’t believe one camera is “right or wrong” for a job. “The choice of camera will inform the lenses I’m going to put on that camera,” he remarked. “Those lenses will inform my behavior with that camera, and that will start to inform my behavior around the subject. The subjects behavior will in turn influence back on me and you have this really weird loop of subject, machine, operator.” He went on to say “I am actually more concerned about the proscenium, the frame, and how all those lens options give me options in the way I frame something.”
