The equipment I use supports a wide range of assignments, from architectural interiors and helicopter aerials to landscape photography on remote overland journeys. Each requires a different approach, but my priorities remain consistent: image quality, reliability and practical handling in the field.

This guide brings together the cameras, lenses and accessories I use in my work. My choices reflect personal experience, the demands of individual projects and the conditions I photograph in.

As a Fujifilm ambassador, I work with the GFX system. The equipment listed here reflects my own working setup, and the right choice for you will depend on what you photograph, how you travel and the results you need.

Camera Body

For architectural and landscape photography, I value resolution, tonal detail and the flexibility to produce large prints. For aerial assignments, handling and responsive operation are equally important.

Lenses

My lens choices depend on the space, viewpoint and distance from the subject. Wide-angle lenses help me work with interiors and expansive scenes, tilt-shift lenses provide control over perspective, and longer lenses allow me to isolate details and distant compositions.

Tilt-Shift Lenses

FUJINON GF30mmF5.6 T/S
A wide-angle tilt-shift lens offering perspective correction and control over the plane of focus. Particularly useful for architectural photography, where maintaining vertical lines and carefully composed framing is essential.

FUJINON GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro
A telephoto tilt-shift macro lens combining close-up capability with precise focus and perspective control. Well suited to architectural details, materials and textures.

Wide-Angle and Standard Zoom Lenses

FUJINON GF20-35mmF4 R WR
An ultra-wide-angle zoom with a constant f/4 maximum aperture and weather-resistant construction. Ideal for spacious interiors, architectural exteriors and expansive landscapes.

FUJINON GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR
A versatile wide-angle to standard zoom with a constant f/4 maximum aperture, linear motor autofocus and weather-resistant construction. A flexible choice for architecture, landscapes and environmental compositions.

FUJINON GF45-100mmF4 R LM OIS WR
A standard zoom with a constant f/4 maximum aperture, linear motor autofocus, optical image stabilisation and weather-resistant construction. Its focal range supports tighter compositions, architectural details and aerial photography.

Telephoto Lenses

FUJINON GF250mmF4 R LM OIS WR
A telephoto prime with an f/4 maximum aperture, linear motor autofocus, optical image stabilisation and weather-resistant construction. Useful for isolating distant details and creating compositions with compressed perspective.

FUJINON GF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR
A super-telephoto prime with an f/5.6 maximum aperture, linear motor autofocus, optical image stabilisation and weather-resistant construction. Its extended reach allows close framing of distant subjects and selective compositions within expansive landscapes.

Tripods & Heads

Stable camera support allows me to refine compositions, maintain precise framing and capture long exposures with confidence. I select each tripod and head according to the camera setup, terrain and control required for the photograph.

Tripods

Gitzo GT3543LS Systematic Series 3 Carbon Fibre Tripod (Long)
A professional four-section carbon fibre tripod with a modular Systematic platform. Its rigid construction and adjustable leg angles provide dependable support for architectural and landscape photography, including work on uneven ground.

Really Right Stuff TVC-33 Versa Series 3 Carbon Fibre Tripod
A three-section carbon fibre tripod combining stable camera support with a versatile modular platform. Well suited to demanding camera setups and carefully composed work in the field.

Tripod Heads

Really Right Stuff BH-55-PC Ball Head with Lever-Release Panning Clamp
A heavy-duty ball head offering controlled positioning and secure locking. The lever-release panning clamp allows horizontal rotation above the ball, making it useful for panoramic sequences once the clamp is levelled.

Really Right Stuff PG-02-FC MK2 Full-Cradle Pano-Gimbal Head
A precision head with independent horizontal and vertical rotation for balanced telephoto support and panoramic photography. Its adjustable positioning allows alignment around the lens’s no-parallax point for accurate multi-row stitching.

Filter System

Polarising and neutral-density filters help me control reflections, manage light and choose the exposure time that best serves the image. I use them to reveal detail through glass, reduce glare and capture movement in water and clouds.

NiSi JetMag Pro Magnetic Filter System

Neutral Density Filters (ND)
Reduce the light entering the lens, allowing longer exposures to capture movement in water and clouds.

Variable Neutral Density Filter (VND)
Provides adjustable light reduction, offering flexible exposure control for photography and filmmaking.

True Color Circular Polarising Filter (CPL)
Helps reduce reflections from glass, water and other non-metallic surfaces, revealing detail and enhancing colour clarity.

Backpacks & Camera Storage

Protecting my equipment and keeping it accessible are essential when travelling between assignments or working in remote locations. I use modular backpacks and padded camera inserts to organise each setup around the shoot, carrying the equipment I need alongside essential personal gear.

Backpacks

f-stop Sukha 70L Mountain Series Backpack
A spacious photography backpack for extended trips and larger equipment setups. Its modular design provides room for camera equipment, outdoor essentials and personal supplies.

f-stop Tilopa 50L Mountain Series Backpack
A versatile photography backpack for location work and travel. Its modular layout allows me to balance camera storage with the clothing and accessories needed for each assignment.

Internal Camera Units

f-stop Pro XL Internal Camera Unit (ICU)
A large padded camera insert with adjustable dividers for organising camera bodies, lenses and accessories. Useful when an assignment requires a more extensive equipment setup.

f-stop Pro Large Internal Camera Unit (ICU)
A padded camera insert with adjustable dividers for a more compact selection of equipment, leaving additional backpack space for personal and outdoor essentials.
