You are a horrible person for using instagram. It's a shithole
"1.Studio portraits should only be taken with aperture of 5.6 or higher."
Whenever you see a statement like "X should only be done like Y", seriously question who makes the statement.
Studio portraits should only be taken in the way that achieves your vision, whatever your vision is. If you want very shallow depth field, shoot f/1.4 and have fun.
"2. I am apparently supposed to use viewfinder only and not camera screen to frame the pictures, with both eyes open to see the model. Also taping the screen to correct the focus is a no-no."
BS
"3. Using tons of lights and equipment to get desired results. The photographer that leads the lectures is very fixated on complicating the scene by using multiple of expensive lights and giant reflectors."
Huge BS.
"5. DSLR are better because they are more stable due to their heavier weight, compared to lighter mirrorless cameras. Also apparently information displayed on mirrorless cameras is lagging behind compared to DSLR, but I am not exactly sure what he was talking about."
Probably the biggest BS.
Ditch this guy.
Look at this guy's mountain photography, he is using long lenses.
