What is your go to in your Alpha kit and why?
My go-to is my Sony Alpha 7R V coupled with the 50mm f/1.2 GM lens, it's super sharp, fast and versatile. Whether I'm shooting products, or walking the streets of Brisbane, I know the results are going to be awesome.
Most memorable moment shooting with Alpha?
My most memorable moment is my very first hands-on experience with the Alpha 7R III during a Sony Roadshow event in Brisbane. So memorable in fact, I bought my Sony kit that very night.
