GEAR
This page is a guide to the tools I use for photography, filmmaking, writing, and field work. Instead of building an endless list of gear, I’ve organized everything into practical kits based on how I actually use them: analog photography, digital cameras, video rigs, mobile filmmaking, travel setups, software, and small accessories that make a difference in the field.
For each kit and major piece of gear, I share a short review, how it fits into my workflow, a few pros and cons, and links to any deeper reviews, videos, or articles I’ve already made. The goal is to help you decide whether a tool makes sense for your own creative work.
Some of the links on this page are affiliate links. That means I may receive a small commission if you purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. It’s a simple way to support my work, help maintain this website, and keep it free of traditional ads.
