Kit

This is a reference, not a recommendation. The gear listed here works for me — it suits the way I see, the places I tend to go, the pace I tend to work at. None of it is essential to making photographs that matter. It changes occasionally, as the practice changes.

Cameras

Nikon Z8 — the body I reach for most often, when weight isn't the constraint. Files I trust in low light and in detail.

Fujifilm X-T5 — when I want to travel lighter, or when the colour science is doing part of the looking for me.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 — for behind-the-scenes notes and the occasional moving image for the journal.

Lenses

24-70mm — the focal range I default to when uncertain. Wide enough to set a scene, long enough to compress one.

Support and field

Tripod — a carbon-fibre travel tripod that I've grown to trust. The most important piece of kit for the kind of work I do.

Filters — a small set of circular polarisers and a six-stop ND. Rarely used aggressively.

Bag — a thirty-litre photography backpack with room for a day's water, layers, and a flask of coffee.

Processing

Lightroom Classic and Photoshop, on a calibrated display. Files printed occasionally, to remember what they look like off the screen.

The kit evolves. Items are replaced when something better serves the practice, retired when I notice I haven't reached for them in a year. If you have a question about a specific choice, the contact page is the best way to ask.
