Photography is as much about the experience as it is about the final image. Over the years I’ve gravitated toward a small collection of cameras that each offer a different way of seeing and working. Some are modern digital tools built for speed and flexibility, while others are slower, more deliberate film cameras that encourage patience and intention.
Cameras x Gear
Digital
For digital work, I primarily use the OM SYSTEM OM-3 and the Leica Q3.
The OM-3 is my versatile everyday camera. Its compact size and rugged build make it ideal for travel, street photography, and spontaneous moments when I want to move quickly without carrying heavy gear. The system’s stabilization and lenses allow me to work confidently in a wide range of conditions.
The Leica Q3 is my camera for when I want simplicity and precision. With its fixed 28mm lens and full-frame sensor, it encourages a focused way of shooting—less about changing gear and more about composing thoughtfully. The rendering and detail it produces make it a favorite for street scenes, environmental portraits, and documentary-style photography.
Film
Alongside digital, I also shoot film whenever I want a slower and more intentional creative process.
The Yashica MG-1 is a compact 35mm rangefinder that I enjoy using for casual shooting and everyday moments. Its simplicity and quiet operation make it perfect for street photography and travel.
For medium format work, I shoot with the Kowa Six, a classic 6×6 camera known for its beautiful optics and large negatives. Shooting medium format forces a slower pace, but the reward is incredible detail and tonal depth—especially when paired with films like Portra, Gold, or Ektar.
