Equipment

It has to be said that I love photographic technology, whether it’s cameras or computers. I often get a lot of emails about the kit that I use, as my approach became somewhat unorthodox when I started delving into the world of adapted lenses. Although I own an array of auto focus lenses, they are still not necessarily the right tool for the right job, so I my kit bag changes all the time as I shoot with different purpose.

I have always been a long term Canon user, as the bodies have always felt right in the hand. Being rather sentimental, I have never brought myself to sell the original Canon 5D, as looking through my library I am always reminded just how excellent the images are that it produces, and instead have converted it to infrared. The 1Ds3 was a huge step up in quality and now remains my number one choice of camera in literally all circumstances.

Although this looks like a goldmine of equipment, it’s all come about from one very important rule that I set myself at the start - I will not buy equipment unless it is earn’t from photography. Ok, the bags are the result of company sponsorship (to which I am so very grateful) but all the lenses, camera bodies and computers are bought with money generated from my business. It was ridiculously difficult at first.
