Gear
What's in the bag. I keep it small.
Camera
Sony A7C II
Full-frame compact mirrorless. The combination of image quality and portability is what keeps me coming back. It disappears into a small bag and never feels like a burden.
Fujifilm X-T20
My walking-around camera. Paired with the 7Artisans 35mm manual focus lens it's a slow, deliberate way to shoot — which is sometimes exactly right.
Lens
Tamron 20–40mm f/2.8
My primary lens on the Sony. Wide enough for environmental portraits and street, long enough for a tighter frame. The constant f/2.8 across the range makes it dependable in low light.
Tamron 35–100mm f/2.8
Travel zoom lens for the Sony. I use it when I want to get a bit more distance from the subject or compress the background. It's also great for portraits when I want that classic short tele focal length look without switching lenses.
Fujinon 18–55mm f/2.8–4
The zoom that lives on the X-T20 when I want more flexibility. Fujifilm's color science does the heavy lifting.
7Artisans 35mm f/1.2 (Fuji X)
Manual focus only. Using it forces me to slow down, pre-focus, and wait for the moment to come to me. Renders with a character that autofocus primes rarely match.
Phone
iPhone 15 Pro
The camera that's always with me. A lot of the photos I'm happiest with were shot on this. Computational photography has quietly become extraordinary.
Audio
DJI Mic Mini
A compact wireless microphone I use when capturing video alongside stills. Small enough to forget you're wearing it.
Carry
Bellroy Sling Bag
My everyday bag for short outings. It fits a camera, two lenses, and some essentials without being bulky. The design is simple and functional, which suits my needs.
Peak Design Travel Backpack
My go-to bag for travel and photowalks. It fits my camera gear and a few essentials without being bulky. The design is thoughtful, making it easy to access my gear on the go.
Accesories
ND Filter
For long exposures in daylight — slowing water, smoothing crowds, or just controlling shutter speed in bright conditions.
Black Mist Filter
Adds a soft halation around highlights. Subtle when used carefully, and it takes some of the clinical edge off a modern sensor.
