equipment

I recieve a lot of questions about the equipment I use. Sometimes these questions come from producers who like to work with camerapeople with specific equipment, but also from collegues or enthusiasts looking for ideas to upgrade their setup. I’d love to talk about equipment, so if you have any question, don’t hesitate to contact me!

Its often the camera that people start their questions about. But I believe lenses are equaly important (if not more!) to get the shot to look the way I want it to. The list below will show my love for lenses, both new and 30-70 year old vintage glass.

To start with the camera, I’m filming with the Sony Venice since its release and still love this camera to the present day. But I’ve owned and used many other cameras and feel comfortable choosing the right camera based on the production needs.

I’ve always been pushing the limits of my equipment and still searching for new equipment that gives us the ability to show things that we haven’t seen before.

Often overlooked is the advantage of knowing my own kit thoroughly and how I easily adjust things with all bits and pieces I have gathered in my set. If you like, please ask me for a detailed equipment list for what kind of equipment I can bring to your production.
