What is in your camera bag?
Bodies: Alpha 7R V, Alpha 7R III, Alpha 6400
Lenses: FE 24mm F1.4 GM, FE 85mm F1.4 GM, FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM, FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM
What is your go to in your Alpha kit and why?
My go-to lenses in my camera kit are the Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM and the Sony FE 24mm F1.4 GM.
I rely on them for every shoot. I first fell in love with this combo while shooting weddings early in my career, appreciating how they made me assertive and able to follow the action. Now, I use them for portraits, events, fashion, and campaigns.
My shooting style is very fast-paced and adaptable. I thrive in the action, dual-wielding two camera bodies. These prime lenses perfectly complement my shooting style - they're compact, lightweight, and their F1.4 maximum aperture creates stunning, creamy imagery for both posed and candid moments.
Most memorable moment shooting with Alpha?
Among the countless memorable moments with Alpha, the standout was when I first got into the Alpha 7R series.
I still use this line of cameras, and watching it evolve has been amazing. For most of my ten-year photography career, the Alpha 7R series has been my go-to. I love its design and have taken it overseas to Japan, Korea, Europe, and more for leisure and professional projects.
It has always delivered incredible content.
