What equipment do you use?

I’m often asked what photographic equipment I use.  A good photograph is based on a good idea, creativity and a good technical understanding, equipment is always secondary.  Having said this, a camera bag filled with great cameras and lenses can help!  The golden rule for me is to use prime, (fixed focal length), lenses whenever possible.  Prime lenses are not the standard zoom type of lens but are better quality due to the quality of the glass, there are also less groups of glass elements within the lens which ultimately means they produce sharper images.  I also often take an old film camera along with me to weddings as well as my regular digital kit, there are some style of shots that digital cameras just cannot quite capture, (yet!)

My camera bag includes;

Canon 5D MkII

Canon 5D Mk I (Spare)

Canon 16-35mm F2.8L

Canon 85mm F1.2L

Canon 50mm F1.4

Canon 70-200mm IS F2.8L

Canon 580EX II Flashgun

2x Bowens 500DX Mono blocs

2x Bowens 750 Plus Mono blocs
