1) What gear do you use? Which lens is your favorite and why?
I shoot on the Sony A7iii & A7Riii. The lenses I most typically use are the 85mm 1.8 from Sony, 35mm 1.4 & 14-24mm 2.8 both from Sigma. I do the majority of my photography at night so prime lenses are really important, I also take a lot of architectural photos which is where the 14-24 gets used the most.
2) When you go out to shoot, do you take any essential items other than a camera and lens?
The three things I make sure I always have with me are my wrist strap so the cameras are secure, a mini handheld tripod, and a cleaning kit for the camera/lenses.
3) What kind of tools do you use for post-processing?
I edit on a 16” MacBook Pro M1 Max and I use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. I also use Topaz to remove noise from any shots taken at high ISO.
4) What photographers have inspired your work?
For my landscape/fine art style images I don’t have anyone I’ve been inspired by, however, my street photography is probably most inspired by
@billydeee and
@erenjam .
5) And lastly, what advice would you give others?
I’d say focus on quality over quantity, when it comes to editing sometimes less is more.
