The gear I use

A practical, honest list of everything I rely on in the field, in the studio, and at the desk — split into focused sections so you can jump straight to what you need.

My 2026 photography & video gear list

Below you'll find every piece of equipment I regularly use, organised by setup. For full transparency, I am a Platypod Pro and some of the Platypod gear featured was provided by them — but I only use equipment that meets my professional standards. Some links are affiliate links: they cost you nothing extra but help support my work. Thank you.
