This week, Serge Ramelli joins host Erik Kuna for a no-filter chat, and things get real fast. From the “hard truths” about gear obsession to the “helpful lies” we tell ourselves about editing, light, and talent — nothing’s off-limits. Serge shares his take on shooting vs. fixing it in post, why technique beats equipment every time, and when a little Photoshop magic is absolutely fair game. It’s equal parts tough love, honest advice, and classic Grid banter.
