What is your go to in your Alpha kit and why?
I'm predominantly a landscape and architectural photographer, so my 16-35mm f2.8 lens lives on whatever camera body I have with me, just about every day of the year
Most memorable moment shooting with Alpha?
Shooting in the Sahara desert in Morocco is one of my favourite places on Earth. It's one place that you feel small in the presence of the vast scale of the desert. Capturing the scale of the desert is one thing, but to find the details leads to rewards as a photographer as well.
