What’s in
my camera
bag
I believe gear should serve the story, not distract from it. Every piece of equipment in my kit has earned its place because it helps me move faster, work more intentionally, and create images that connect with people.
Whether I'm filming an athlete documentary, a brand story, a wedding, or a portrait session, I choose tools that allow me to focus on the moment rather than the equipment.
Tools With Purpose
Reliability
Professional work requires equipment I can trust. My kit is built around tools that perform consistently in real-world situations.
Mobility
Many of my favorite stories happen outside controlled environments. My setup allows me to move quickly while still achieving a cinematic look.
Story First
The best camera is the one that helps you capture the moment. The equipment matters, but the story always comes first.
Cameras
My primary cinema camera. The Sony FX3 gives me the flexibility of a compact body with the image quality and reliability needed for professional filmmaking.
I use this camera for documentaries, athlete films, interviews, commercial work, and any project where storytelling is the priority.

Lenses are more than technical tools. They influence how we experience a story—the intimacy of a portrait, the scale of a landscape, or the emotion of a single moment. These are the lenses I trust to create cinematic films, documentaries, and photography.
Lenses
Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM
The Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM is my go-to lens when I want emotion, intimacy, and beautiful separation between the subject and the environment.
The combination of compression and shallow depth of field creates portraits that feel cinematic and personal.
This lens allows the subject to become the focus. It removes distractions and creates images that feel intentional and timeless.
The Portrait Storyteller
✓ Editorial portraits
✓ Athlete portraits
✓ Interviews

Sirui 20mm T1.8 Anamorphic
The Sirui 20mm T1.8 Anamorphic is a creative tool designed for moments where I want the image itself to feel different.
The anamorphic characteristics create unique flares, texture, depth, and a cinematic quality that separates the footage from a traditional video look.
Not every story needs to look realistic. Sometimes the visual language should create a feeling before the audience even understands the story.
The Cinematic Character Lens
✓ Short films
✓ Music videos
✓ Creative portraits
✓ Brand storytelling
✓ Experimental projects
Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art
The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art is the lens that stays on my camera most often. Its versatility allows me to move quickly between wide environmental shots, intimate portraits, and dynamic action without interrupting the moment.
For documentary filmmaking and commercial work, this lens gives me the flexibility to adapt as stories unfold.
When you only have one chance to capture a moment, versatility matters. This lens lets me focus on the story instead of constantly changing gear.
The Everyday Workhorse

✓ Brand films
✓ Weddings
✓ Athlete stories
✓ Portrait sessions

Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art
The 35mm focal length has always felt natural to me because it captures people within their environment while still creating a strong emotional connection.
The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art gives me the ability to tell stories with a wider perspective while maintaining beautiful depth and character.
This lens feels like being present in the moment. It shows not only who someone is, but where they come from and what surrounds them.

✓ Lifestyle photography
✓ Documentary moments
✓ Behind-the-scenes footage

Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II
The Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II is one of my favorite lenses for capturing athletes, emotions, and moments from a distance.
The compression created by longer focal lengths helps isolate subjects from their environment while creating a cinematic look that feels intentional and immersive.
Some moments are better observed than interrupted. This lens allows me to capture authentic expressions and powerful action while staying invisible.
Creating Distance & Compression
✓ Athlete documentaries
✓ Sports photography
✓ Action sequences
✓ Weddings
✓ Outdoor portraits
✓ Emotional moments from a distance
Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM
The Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM is my choice when the environment is part of the story.
Whether capturing an athlete against the landscape, a dramatic establishing shot, or an immersive perspective, this lens allows me to show the relationship between people and their surroundings.
A person's surroundings often tell part of their story. This lens helps capture the bigger picture.
The Environmental Storyteller
✓ Cinematic wide shots
✓ Landscapes
✓ Environmental portraits
✓ Low-light storytelling
✓ Creative sequences
The best lens is not always the sharpest one. It is the one that helps tell the story. Every lens in my kit has a purpose—from capturing the quiet emotion of a portrait to following an athlete through a demanding journey.
