MY GEAR
Leica Q3
The newest addition to my now extensive gear collection, but this camera is now my new every day carry. I have always wanted to own a Leica and with the Q3 having USBC charging and a flip out screen (2 features I consider must have) I decided to bite the bullet and pick one up.
Although it’s certainly not cheap, this 60MP Full Frame beauty will definitely bring a new level of quality to my images.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3
The main use case for this is videography and for creating the YouTube content you have started to see from me. The Osmo Pocket 3 is a great camera packed with amazing features like a 1-inch sensor, incredible low light performance and of course, industry leading stabilisation, all in this small package allowing me to capture everything I need without it weighing me down.
DJI Mic 2
This is the main mic used throughout the YouTube videos, connected to the DJI Pocket 3… This as a combo makes for the most perfect travel companion. It’s light, portable, and the mic is insanely well-made.
It has plenty of features including in built storage, so audio backups are never a problem.
Fujifilm X-T30
This camera has been a workhorse for all of my street photography since I first got bit by the photography bug…
Is it perfect? No, but no camera is. This camera does have an incredible amount of features packed in to such a small body though, making it a fantastic, lightweight and affordable option for street photography.
Fujifilm XF 18-55mm
Much like the camera, this lens has been with me since the beginning too, and for me, its the perfect lens…
The lens keeps me wide enough to capture the whole scene or tight when I want to feel closer to the action without actually disturbing a scene. The relatively low F Stop of the lens also works great for a variation of different night time photography and well, the proof is in the pudding, the majority of my images have been captured with this lens and camera body combination.
Billingham Hadley Digital
There’s not really too much to say about a camera bag, but having a good one is essential. This bag has a sleek design with plenty of space for my camera, lens, batteries, camera straps and ND filters without being bulky and cumbersome to carry around with me all day.
And plus, its Billingham so you know the build quality is going to be top notch.
iPhone 14 Pro
This is my phone, the thing that everyone’s lives are build around nowadays… It gets me from A to B, it’s where all my music gets stored for when I am out and about and need something to blast into my ears at full volume… Yaknow general phone stuff…
More importantly, though, it’s what I use in a pinch if I don’t have my camera with me.
iPad Pro (2022) 12.9”
This is my go to editing workstation, the iPad is so powerful that I can easily task it with editing all of my photos using Lightroom and Photoshop without it breaking a sweat… In addition to photo editing, it’s also what I edit all the videos on using Final Cut Pro.
The iPad is also much more lightweight and portable than a laptop making it the perfect travel companion.
Hollyland Lark M2 Combo
These tiny little microphones pack a real punch delivering some amazing audio quality whilst only weighing 9 grams, these are used for the YouTube videos. The combo allows me to connect the mic’s directly into devices through its USBC or Lightning Port and gives me plug and play audio with much better quality than the phone’s in built microphone systems.
Much cheaper and lighter than the main brand alternatives, too.
DJI Osmo Mobile 3
The main use case for this is once again for creating the YouTube content you have started to see from me. The Osmo Mobile is a great gimble that I have had for a while just sitting gathering dust. It folds up for a super small form factor to keep it great for travel, but it also works amazingly well to keep a phone of my size and weight balanced for smooth video footage.
