Gear I Actually Use in the Field
I work across editorial, commercial, and documentary assignments, often in unpredictable environments where reliability matters more than specs. The gear on this page is what I actually use in those situations, not what is trending or overhyped.
Every piece has been tested in real working conditions and chosen because it solves a specific problem. If it is here, it has earned its place.
My Core Working Kit
If you are only going to look at one section on this page, start here.
This is the gear I rely on the most across assignments, travel, and everyday use. It is not the most expensive or the most impressive. It is simply what works.
Leica M11
My main assignment camera for editorial and documentary work. It slows me down in a good way and consistently delivers strong results in the field.

Editorial Photography Tools
For street, documentary, and editorial work, I prioritize gear that is reliable, unobtrusive, and adaptable across different environments. Most of these choices come from years of working in the field and a preference for simplicity when situations get complex
Cameras
Leica M11
My primary editorial assignment camera. I recently used it on assignment in Cambodia for the Smithsonian and was reminded why I enjoy this system so much. It is not the fastest camera, but it encourages a more deliberate way of working and delivers consistently strong results.
