The camera
Canon EOS-1D X Mark II
My only body since 2018. Rained on at Pumba, frozen in Iceland, salted at Bondi — it does not care.

What's in my bag
Nothing here is aspirational — this is the exact kit the photographs on this site were made with, checked against their EXIF. The longer story of why I still shoot a 2016 DSLR is in the journal.
The safari lens
Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM
Almost every wildlife frame on this site, most of them at the 400mm end.
The walkaround
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Cityscapes, seascapes, long exposures at f/22 — the lens that's always attached when nothing's planned.
The wide end
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM
Night cities and starburst street lights — the Fearless Girl frame is this lens at 16mm.
The classic
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
Portraits, compression, and the high-key cormorant. The lens every Canon shooter ends up owning.
The stabiliser
DJI Ronin-S
For the motion work — and it makes a cameo in the mirror self-portrait that opens this site.
The body before · retired
Canon EOS 6D
The 2017 work here — the Bronte long exposures, the Cadillac at Bondi, the high-key cormorant — came from this one.
