Field-tested gear

How I choose

I don’t shoot with everything I’m sent. I shoot with what works in the field — at altitude, off-grid, in cold, in transit. If a piece of gear earns a place on this page, it’s because it survived real conditions and produced images I’m proud of.

If you’re starting out and want to ask about any of this, get in touch. I’d rather you spend money on the right thing once than the wrong thing twice.
