What lighting equipment do you take on a
shoot?
What type of cameras do you shoot with? When shooting outdoors, I like to take ad-
I have used most of the brands on the mar- vantage as much as possible of the natural
ket including Pentax, Nikon, Leica and most
of the formats, but for now, my workhorse
cameras are from the Fuji X series. Range-

What is your favorite accessory?

but it is not always easy to deal with, espe-
cially here in Scotland where the weather
can change very quickly. It’s probably one
of the very few places I know with the most
unpredictable kind of weather. So, a porta-
ble reflector is always handy, as well as two
small, battery powered led panels usually do
the job quite well. A more traditional Speed-
light flash is always in my bag for these sit-
