Everyday Carry
The lightweight setup I use for speed, mobility, documentary moments, and everyday visual storytelling.
BodyOlympus PEN-F
Small enough to disappear. Quiet enough to listen.
The camera I reach for without thinking. It moves at the speed of a thought and asks for nothing back.
Lens17mm f/1.8 prime
A field of view that matches how I actually see.
Wide enough to hold the air around a subject, intimate enough to keep the frame honest.
PowerSpare batteries
Two in the pocket. Always.
Cold mornings, long walks, golden hour stretched into blue. Power is patience.
MediaSD cards
Small archives of a city.
Rotated, labeled, never reused on the same day. A small ritual against forgetting.
CarryLeather wrist strap
Quiet, soft, worn in.
Lets the camera rest on the body without announcing itself. Eight years of fingerprints.

For more intentional compositions, portraits, cinematic framing, and high-detail storytelling.

Body
For frames that ask to be composed slowly.

Skin, breath, and the space between two people.
