Gear statement
As a Sony ambassador I use all the top of the line Sony cameras and lenses. They're the absolute best and allow me to capture everything I need in the best possible quality in the field. However, this does not mean that I always recommend using 'the most expensive and best gear'. Feel free to ask me for any kind of advice regarding gear through social media or email.
My main body is currently the A7RV. This camera offers the highest amount of megapixels (61) in a Sony camera paired with all of the best features. It's the camera that does everything for me. Next to that, I always bring a second body. In my case that's my A7RIV, which has very similar image quality but less features. It's simply an older camera but gets the job done.
If you want to start with one of the best allround Full Frame Sony cameras but don't have the budget to go all out, I recommend the A7IV, which is one of the best allround cameras on the market. It's great for photography, but also videography. Also, please keep in mind that I have been shooting with Sony Alpha cameras for a very long time. I have created some of my very best images with old Sony cameras that still get the job done. If you're interested in gear and settings, I recommend you to take a look on my Flickr account. All the photos there have their EXIF data included.

Filters
I always get asked a lot what filter system I use for the 12-24 f/2.8 GM lens. I use the Nisi S6 Filter kit. You slide that over your lens and it's super easy to attach. If you buy the kit there's a CPL included that works very well. Next to that I always bring a 6-stop and a 10-stop. I don't really use graduated ND filters. For other lenses I simply use circular filters. They're light and easy to carry around.
Tripods
I am currently using tripods of Photoclam (amazing korean brand) & Sunwayfoto
Accessories
I always carry a bunch of accessories in my bag. Most of them are from Nitecore Photo
Some great ones are:
- Nitecore Blowerbaby - an electric rocket blower that can blow dust of your lenses and sensor.
- Nitecore headlamp - for the night
- Nitecore LED lamp - if you need to light a subject. Also functions as a power bank. Super handy.
Bags
I'm a big fan of the Mindshift bags, in particular the Backlight 36L or the smaller 26L. These both fit perfectly in the cabin of planes. For backpacking I usually use a more 'adventurous' bag pack with more features for tents etc. Then I use the Shimoda bags, in particular their Explore 60L .
Screen
My screen where I edit my photos on are the BenQ SW321C and the SW271U. I am an official ambassador for BenQ Europe and have been using their screens for many years. They are extremely color accurate and great when you occasionally print your work. I also have the privilege to give a 10% discount to you if you have interest in buying one. Simply contact me for the exclusive code.
