The benefits of using a dual-camera setup on location

Canon EOS 5D Mk III

“This Canon DSLR has been fantastic to begin with, but it is much bulkier, much slower, and it performs nowhere near as well in low-light situations. For now, though, this setup certainly does the job and I like having quick access to both the 85mm and 35mm lenses for different perspectives during a shoot.”

Sony Alpha 7 III

“Eventually I will buy another Sony Alpha 7 III mirrorless camera and Sony-fit lenses, but they are in no way inexpensive, so it’ll be a job for the savings account.”

Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art

“This lens has a wide field of view, which makes it really versatile for shooting in a variety of situations, and the bokeh when shooting at a wide aperture makes for a really dreamy and ethereal effect.”

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

“I use this lens mostly for details and portraits. Again, it has a beautiful, creamy bokeh, and the narrow focal length means that I’m able to draw in close to my subject without getting in too close physically.”

Tiffen Pro-Mist 1/2 filter (67mm)

“This really enhances the ethereal effect I like to achieve in my work. It seems to diffuse the highlights and the contrast in an image which creates a beautiful softness if used in the right lighting.”

Keenso Dual Camera Harness

“This was a quick order from Amazon, but it has served me well. I especially like that the bottom camera straps don’t come too low – I’m quite small, so this can sometimes be an issue!”
