A7RM

The A7RM2 is my

primary weapon of

choice. It’s the epitome

of image quality right

now, with its large

clean 42-megapixel

image file, and the

amazing dynamic range

of its sensor.

range of these sensors. My last magic

trick in the bag is the pocket sized

wonder - the Sony RX100M4. This

tiny camera is always with me, and is

used during photo walks, for making

timelapses and slow-motion footage,

for aerial and underwater images, and

basically for life as I see it.

When it comes to my camera kit, I’ve always
favoured prime lenses over zooms. Primes tend
to restrict your vision, thus leading to innovation
and discipline in your process. The other
important factor for me is portability - I travel
over 200 days a year, so I need my cameras to
be as light as possible.
My lens kit consists of Zeiss lenses made by
Sony, and by Zeiss. These lenses are stellar in
both sharpness and the way they render out-of-

focus areas (“bokeh” in geek terms).

My camera kit is entirely mirrorless. The

primary camera is the Sony A7RM2 which is the

epitome of image quality right now, with its large,

clean 42-megapixel image files. The secondary

camera is either the Sony A7S or A7M2, based

on the assignment I’m on. Both bodies are

capable of class leading video output which is

a big advantage in the field. I shoot entirely in

RAW, and depend a lot on the amazing dynamic
