For the last 31 years of his life, photographer Jimmy Nelson has been traveling around the world taking photographs of the most incredible people and places our Blue Marble has to offer.
Throughout this journey, Nelson has learned more than a few lessons. As part of a video created in collaboration with COOPH, Nelson is sharing with us seven of his most prized pieces of advice.
The video comes in at six and a half minutes long. While sharing each of his seven lessons, Nelson presents them alongside anecdotes he’s gathered throughout his expansive career.
While the video is a must watch, purely for Nelson’s narration and presentation of the lessons and accompanying stories, we’ve gathered the seven lessons and paraphrased Nelson’s take on them below:
The lessons shared are beyond insightful and go far beyond the surface-level advice we so often hear in similar videos. Take the time to watch the video and take with you the inspiration within it.
Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.
Sigma FP2 brings faster shooting and 6K video
A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
We are nearing Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, which officially run October 6 and 7. But there is no need to wait until the sale begins to start looking. Early offers are already live, and camera gear is one category where I found enough worthwhile discounts to put together a proper creator-focused list.
I’ve deliberately gone wider than interchangeable-lens cameras here. There are pocket and action cameras, a 360 camera, an instant camera, two wireless microphone systems, and a pair of webcams covering very different budgets. Prices were checked on October 2, and as always with Amazon, they can move quickly.
