I'm an amateur photographer and enjoy capturing moments through time with family, travel and nature.
I use two different systems:
Leica M: Street and travel photography. I love how small and portable the system is. While it doesn't have autofocus, its other benefits mean I bring a camera with me more often.
Nikon Z: Great for fast moving things like birds and kids. I also find it more convenient for indoor flash situations.

Lighting
I decided to go with a Godox system since its pretty affordable and has a broad range of light support. Also its one of the few brands that has Leica integration too, so I can have one system that works with both Leica and Nikon.

- Godox V1N Pro
- Godox AD300Pro
- Several softboxes, backdrops, stands
Tripods
- Gitzo Systematic Series 5 Carbon Fiber with Monoball P1 (big and heavy)
