What’s In My Camera Bag
Digital: My Leica SL3 is essential for my commercial photography work. Its image quality is second to none, capturing stunning detail and color across food, products, architecture, and portraiture. The intuitive controls and diverse range of SL lenses make it incredibly versatile, allowing me to achieve my creative vision quickly and precisely, whether shooting architectural shots or corporate portraits.
My personal photography projects, focused on abstract and landscape imagery, are brought to life through the Leica Q3, Q3 43, and M11-P. Each camera offers a unique perspective, with the Q3’s fixed 28mm lens excelling in capturing fine details and landscape scenes, while the Q3 43’s wider 43mm focal length provides a classic reportage feel. The M11-P’s interchangeable lens system allows for ultimate creative flexibility. The Leica Q3s and M11-P’s unparalleled image quality ensures that every nuance of light and texture is captured. The compact size and weather sealing of the Q3s make them ideal travel companions, allowing me to confidently explore and document the world’s diverse landscapes, from bustling cityscapes to serene natural wonders.
Film: No photographer’s journey is complete without exploring film photography. My love for film remains strong, and I keep a dedicated space in my bag for my trusty Nikon F3, F100, and F6. These cameras represent different eras of Nikon’s evolution, each with unique character and strengths. The F3, a classic workhorse, reminds me of photography fundamentals, while the F100 offers speed and versatility. And the F6, a modern classic, delivers exceptional image quality and refined handling. Shooting film provides a tangible connection to the photographic process, a welcome counterpoint to the immediacy of digital.
