Gear

The tools I use for street photography. I believe in keeping things simple — fewer choices means more focus on the work.

Fujifilm X-T30 II

Main camera

Compact, reliable, and built for the way I like to work. The colour science is what keeps me coming back. There is something about Fujifilm tones that makes the world feel cinematic without forcing it.

I mostly shoot in aperture priority with Auto ISO. It keeps me responsive. I focus on framing and light instead of settings.

Canon 5D Mark II

Full-frame DSLR, 2008

Heavy, solid, unapologetically mechanical. The files still hold up, there is depth in the images that feels different from modern mirrorless systems. Slower autofocus forces intention. The weight forces commitment.

When I shoot with this camera, I slow down. And that is often exactly what I need.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T90

Pocket digicam

Weighing around 130 grams, it never leaves my pocket. Parties. Streets. Quick creative experiments. It has that early digital digicam look. Direct flash, slightly harsh colours, imperfect in a way that feels honest. Our best smartphones cannot recreate it because they try too hard to be perfect.

Fujifilm DL60

Analog 35mm point-and-shoot, 1989

No preview screen. No instant feedback. Just film. Shooting with this camera changes your relationship with time, you cannot overshoot, you cannot correct immediately, you have to trust your eye. The delayed gratification makes every developed roll feel like opening a time capsule.

Fujifilm 27mm f/2.8 WR

Everyday prime — Fuji X

My favourite lens for the streets. Compact, light, and incredibly sharp. It keeps the camera small and discreet, which makes it perfect for long walks. This is the lens I reach for most often.

Tamron 17–70mm f/2.8

Flexible zoom — Fuji X

Wide when I need context. Longer when I want compression and separation. Fast autofocus and strong image quality across the range. My practical choice for varied situations.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Nifty fifty — Canon EF

Small, affordable, and capable of beautiful subject separation. Paired with the 5D Mark II, it delivers that timeless full-frame look.
