What is in your camera bag?
I shoot on on Sony A7RV and I love it in the studio for the high resolution it offers.
I use the 24-70GM 2.8 lens for most work - the image quality is akin to a set of prime lenses.
I use the 50mm for portrait work and the 90mm for macro work - when coupled with the remote it makes for easy focus stacking.
I use this alongside complex lighting setups and capture with my camera tethered so I can really see what i'm creating.
What is your go to in your Alpha kit and why?
I love the A7RV - the image quality is a true professional camera and is unlike any other mirrorless camera on the market. It's true professional grade with usable ports to shoot tethered, great port protectors and many customisable buttons to setup the camera to your unique workflow.
I love the automated focus stacking feature, and the pixel shift feature, meaning I can create high-quality images with extensive sharpness.
Most memorable moment shooting with Alpha?
I remember when I had my first shoot with a now longterm client, It was just such a pinch me moment.
They had found my work and built the brief around my portfolio. I had a great budget to get all the production resources I needed and a great lighting kit. We were shooting high-speed flying food and liquids with colourful backgrounds - right up my alley.
I felt really confident in my camera kit and knew that I would have full control to create what I needed.
