Whether you're a fellow photographer, a gear enthusiast, or just curious about what tools I use to capture my shots, welcome! In this post, I'm giving you a peek inside my camera bag. I'll walk you through the gear I rely on—from cameras and lenses to accessories that make my shoots smoother. Let’s dive in and see what’s coming along with me on every shoot.
I chose OM System cameras because they strike the perfect balance between performance and portability. They're incredibly lightweight, which makes a huge difference when I'm on the move or shooting all day. On top of that, their weather-sealed design gives me the confidence to shoot in tough conditions—whether it's rain, dust, or cold. The in-body stabilization is also a game-changer, allowing me to get sharp shots even without a tripod. Overall, OM System gives me the freedom to focus on creativity without worrying about gear holding me back.
My main Body is the OM-1 Mark II, OM System’s flagship camera—powerful, fast, and built for tough conditions. With a stacked sensor, advanced autofocus, and excellent weather sealing, it delivers pro-level performance in a compact, lightweight body
My second body, used as a reliable backup, is the previous generation OM-1 Mark I. While it's no longer the latest model, it still delivers excellent performance, fast autofocus, and great image quality. It’s a solid and familiar tool I can count on if anything happens to my main camera, or when I need to shoot with two different lenses quickly.
I use the OM System M.Zuiko 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO as my main lens because it gives me incredible reach, sharpness, and flexibility in one compact package. Its built-in teleconverter and powerful image stabilization make it perfect for wildlife and action shots, even handheld.
The OM System M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/4.0 PRO lens is my go-to choice for photographing larger animals at close range, offering the perfect balance of reach and versatility. It's lightweight, sharp throughout the zoom range, and easy to handle—ideal for capturing detailed shots without needing to step too far back.
The M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm f/3.5 Macro IS PRO is a phenomenal lens I rely on for capturing stunning close-up details. Its true macro capabilities, sharpness, and built-in stabilization make it perfect for photographing tiny subjects with incredible clarity and precision.
I use the Godox V860III Li-Ion Flash for macro photography because it’s powerful, consistent, and the long-lasting rechargeable battery keeps me shooting without interruptions. Its quick recycling time and reliable performance make it ideal for capturing detailed close-ups with perfect lighting.
For macro photography I use the Cygnustech diffuser because it softens and evenly spreads the flash light, eliminating harsh shadows and highlights. This helps me capture crisp, detailed close-ups with natural-looking lighting every time.
I use the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II for travel because it’s versatile and lightweight, perfect for wide-angle shots and everyday scenes. Its constant f/2.8 aperture delivers sharp, vibrant images whether I’m capturing landscapes or street moments on the go.
