Below is the gear I’m currently using for my photography work. This seems to be evolving quite frequently, but I’ll try and keep this as up-to-date as possible.
The Sony Alpha α7R IV is my first full-frame mirrorless camera boasting a 61MP full-frame 35mm back-illuminated Exmore R CMOS Image Sensor, you can capture stunning resolution photos and videos.
This state-of-the-art digital camera boasts an impressive set of features that make it perfect for professional and amateur photographers alike. What I like the most about this camera is a single button switch from full frame 61MP to 26.2MP APS-C crop mode.
In short, it’s a perfect little machine that delivers everything I could ever want from a camera.

The Benro Travel Tripod is a lightweight and compact tool perfect for on-the-go shooting. It is crafted from durable carbon fiber, this tripod is made to last, and its slim profile shoulder allows the legs to be more compact when folded. It has a maximum load capacity of 8.8 pounds.
With an anodized aluminum twist lock that requires only a quick half-turn to unlock and lock, I am able to set up and tear down the tripod in no time. The Arce-Swiss style camera plate has a blue anodized aluminum quick-release plate with a D-ring 1/4″-20 screw.
I actually love this one for its lightweight design and durability.

Hilariously expensive but equally sharp. My most used lens by far, a 24-105, is crucial for my work. In my opinion, this lens brings premium performance and quality to Sony full-frame E-mount camera users.
The cool thing with this is that I’ve no desire to be changing lenses in bad weather and it covers pretty much every focal length I regularly want to shoot at.
The lens features a minimum focusing distance of just 1.25 feet, allowing for close-up shots and a wide range of expressions. It delivers high corner-to-corner resolving power throughout the entire zoom range.
It also features a constant F4 maximum aperture to maintain exposure and depth of field.

The Venus Optics Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Ultra Macro APO Lens is my ideal choice for all my Macro photography needs. It is a superior quality macro lens. With 100mm focal length, this lens is perfect for macro photography usage, allowing me to capture life-size images with maximum aperture of f/2.8.
Not only is it an exceptional macro lens, it also focuses to infinity and is a great choice for telephoto portrait photography.
The APO design reduces chromatic aberration to a minimum and a 12 element in 10 group construction further ensures exceptional image quality.
The only drawback of this lens is that it is a manual lens and the aperture is controlled by the aperture ring on the lens. But I still love this lens.

The NiSi 77mm Neutral Density Kit is the perfect accessory for my long exposure images. This COMPLETE KIT includes three filters, a 3-Stop, 6-Stop combined with CPL, and 10-Stop neutral density lens filters, a glass cleaning cloth, and a filter pouch that holds four filters.
My favourite choice is the 6-Stop filter combined with a rotating circular polarizer that reduces reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces, perfect for shooting in outdoor sunny conditions.
These high-quality optical glasses come with proprietary NiSi Pro Nano Coating helps to reduce unwanted reflections, and provides a waterproof, dust-proof, and scratch-resistant layer for clear and high-quality images.
The added infrared protection coating layer also helps eliminate the unwanted red color cast that can occur when shooting with a small aperture.

It makes my shooting sessions more efficient and comfortable. This adjustable strap is 39-57″ long and 1.8″ wide, making it wearable as a sling, shoulder, or neck strap.
The best part of this strap is that it is featured with removable anchors so I can connect it to my camera with ease and leave them on my gear for quick attachment and detachment.
This strap is incredibly sturdy, too, with support up to 200 lb. For comfort, there are smooth and non-slip sides that allow me to choose the amount of grip. This camera strap has made my photoshoots easier and more comfortable.

The versatility of this device is truly remarkable. It serves as my navigation system, podcast player, email client, phone, and even allows me to share captivating moments through Instagram stories.
However, what truly sets it apart is its exceptional Hasselblad camera. The quality of the photos it captures is so impressive that I have printed them on a large scale, yielding stunning results.
In all honesty, even if this device had no other functionalities, I would still utilize it as a portable camera.
