My photography kit varies based on the project at hand, but a few items are constants. I primarily shoot with a Nikon Z 7II camera due to its simplicity, excellent resolution, and dynamic range. My go-to lenses are the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S, which is perfect for capturing complex scenes with multiple moments happening simultaneously, and the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S, offering exceptional sharpness for portrait and street photography.

 

The 85 1.8 and 105mm macro are always with me in case I want to step back, and I sometimes use the 28-75 2.8 in fast moving news situations where I don’t want to dirty the sensor. My final two lenses which I love are the PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED lens, and the PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED tilt shift lens, which accompany me on every assignment.

 

For filmmaking, I’m currently using a specialized set up that combines the Z 8/Z 9, and a variety of Z lenses and older NIKKOR lenses. I am enjoying the process of upgrading to the newer, higher resolution Nikons, as they are making incredible strides in the video area. I really appreciate the low impact nature of the Z system, and its intuition that allows me to focus on telling the important stories of our time.
