Every now and then I see questions on what gear I use to shoot my stuff, so here’s a list…
Also, I’d always recommend checking out mpb.com for used versions of this gear to save some cash. I buy lots of stuff used, all of it on mpb.com. Here are links to countries where they operate:

Sony A7RV
A camera I’m learning to love. In short it’s a perfect little machine that delivers everything I could ever want from a camera, but it’s utterly void of personality. Not a deal breaker, clearly, but I wish it had a couple of quirks.

Sony A7 IV
An amazing hybrid camera. This is my primary body for filming, and my second body for stills. With 4k 10 bit and 30 odd megapixels, it’s great at both. Again, more machine than companion.

Sony 40mm f2.5 G
My go to focal length, and my go to lens. Particularly in cities or tight spaces where I don’t want to look like a photographer who needs a permit. As sharp as it is small, and it’s all metal construction means it’ll last.

Sony 24-50 f2.8 G
The newest addition to my kit. This lens provides the most useful bits of the 24-70’s range (for my work at least) but is just over half of the weight. It’s therefore a much more agreeable companion for all day shooting.

Sony 24mm f1.4 GM
Twice the size of the other primes in part because it has twice the responsibility. This is the go to vlog lens for me, and it takes some wide angle photos too. How a lens can be this sharp with such little distortion I’ll never know.

Sigma 90mm f2.8
If I’m shooting on the 40mm and want to carry something longer for ‘just in case’, this is what I turn to. Again all metal, again tiny, and again brilliantly sharp. Nice job Sigma.

Gomatic x Peter McKinnon Sling
I have many sling bags, but I think this one is best. Comfortable, durable and it opens up really wide meaning you can work with it while it’s on your body.
Slings are fantastic for limiting what you take, and in my experience that makes photography more enjoyable.
Canon Pro 1000
This A2 printer has been around a while now but it’s a beast, both in its output and weight (35kg). I use this for all of my prints I sell up to A2, and for anything bigger I use a print studio here in the UK.

iPhone Pro 14 Max
My navigation, podcast, email, phone, instagram story, but most of all a genuinely impressive camera. You can, and I have printed huge with the files from the main camera to great effect. To be honest even if this thing did nothing else I’d use it as a pocket camera now.
