01 Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
WEB: www.canon.co.uk
THE Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is my go-to camera. It’s a robust workhorse, versatile and delivers almost everything I need. I’ve been shooting with Canon since the film days and have never been happier. The 30MP file size, ISO quality and the array of different functions combined with the reliability allow me to concentrate on the subject and not worry about the quality of my equipment.
02 Canon EOS 5DS R

FOR jobs I can’t do with my EOS 5D Mark IV, I turn to the EOS 5DS R for its larger 50MP sensor. The extra file size allows my clients the room to crop and enlarge to almost any size they wish. When ISO is not critical and I’m shooting off a tripod, I turn to the 5DS R. All pros should also have a spare camera body in case anything goes wrong on a shoot, so the 5DS R comes everywhere with me.
03 Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8l II USM
WEB: www.canon.co.uk
THIS is a great low-light fast lens and it’s incredibly versatile. I use it for portraiture, editorial and interior photography. For its price, it’s incredible value and worth the investment. The amazing sharpness and minimal distortion, even at 24mm, gives me confidence in using it for my portrait jobs.
04 Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8l IS III USM
WEB: www.canon.co.uk
THIS lens is a faultless piece of equipment and I couldn’t imagine doing a job without it. The combination of having a zoom and great image quality makes it a very practical optic. Carrying prime lenses has never been an option for my mobile work.
05 Canon EF 11-24mm f/4l USM
WEB: www.canon.co.uk
ALTHOUGH I don’t use it all the time, when I do it has absolutely saved me when I’ve needed an extreme wide-angle field of view – especially in those tight interiors with very limited room, such as bathrooms and small bedrooms. The ultra-wide angle is great for playing around with new perspectives and is also very useful for large group photos with little space.
06 Elinchrom Ranger Quadra
WEB: www.elinchrom.com I COULDN’T imagine going to a job where I can’t control the lighting. The Quadra is a workhorse – I’ve been using it for over 10 years. It’s so reliable, lightweight and tough, and the lighting quality together with Elinchrom softboxes is fantastic. The wireless El-skyport pairs with Canon cameras, plus it’s a portable system that needs no power source.
