Photo &
Video
Cameras, lenses, equipment, and digital tools I use to photograph horses, create videos, teach courses, and build websites.
All personally tried, tested over the years, and proven to work. From summer heat to freezing temperatures, surrounded by hay, straw, and plenty of dust.
Sony Alpha 7 II & 7 III –
Once Sony, Always Sony?
I was actually a Canon photographer for many years. Until I finally switched to Sony. And let's just say, the amazing autofocus played a pretty big part in that decision.
My Sony Alpha 7 II and 7 III have been with me for years now – during client photoshoots, at horse shows, around the barn, and basically everywhere horses refuse to stand still and wait for the perfect shot.
I use both cameras with different Sony E-mount lenses, depending on what I'm shooting. And when you work with horses that love to move at the most unexpected moments, a fast and reliable autofocus is worth a lot.
The Alpha 7 III was also a big step forward for me when it came to 4K video. Even today, it still delivers fantastic results for both photography and videography. Although photography is definitely what I use it for most.
What I really love about both cameras is how reliable they've been over the years. Not just during client shoots with perfect lighting, but also in everyday barn life. Surrounded by dust, hay, straw, summer heat, and temperatures that make you seriously wonder why you didn't become a product photographer in a nice, warm studio instead.
My conclusion: Two reliable full-frame cameras that have been part of my work for years. The Alpha 7 III is my all-rounder for both photography and video.
And yes, I know there are newer models out there. But so far, I haven't found a good reason to replace mine.
It still does exactly what I need it to do: its job. And a pretty good one, actually.
