Gear

As far as I know and care, equipment is NOT the most important for any photographer. The image itself and the story it’s telling is the main issue.
To me it’s certainly more important to know the camera you carry and use, than to long after bigger, better and more expensive gear. That said, here are my three options today:

1. My cell phone is an iPhone 16 pro. Good  enough sensor in it, capable to take decent pictures – especially portraits – when the light is decent. Sometimes a pic from your mobile is all you need. And I always carry it.

2. My full format Canon R5. Full format because I rarely use a flash. And I can push my ISO way up and still get great pics on occasions when I lack light. I mainly use my 24 – 70 mm 1:2,8 with it or the recent 16-35 mm 2:8. Occasionally I carry my 70 – 200, but not so much for street photography

3. I do have a compact Ricoh GR3. A camera I like a lot. I really like the small size and noiseless effort with it.

For postproduction I use both Photoshop and Lightroom, depending on what mood I’m in.
