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
