My Gear
After gathering far too much gear over the years I've trimmed things down and now have a much more usable, lightweight set up that I'm really happy with for my work.
Here's a list of the gear I use with links to purchase them, they are affiliate links though which costs you nothing to use them but I earn a tiny percentage if you buy through them. It's the best, free, way to support me along with watching my YouTube videos.
The OMSystem OM-1 Mkii
My main camera for wildlife, landscape and coastal, or pretty much anything! This powerhouse delivers in ways I could have only imagined a few years ago. Rugged, dependable and above all else a joy to use!

Olympus 12-100mm f/4 Pro
The most versatile lens I've ever used. Wide enough for most things but also great zoom range (24-200mm full frame equivalent) without any loss in quality or speed. Truly a lens for all occasions when you're out on a hike and so clear it almost makes fun of a prime lens!

Olympus 7-14mm f/2.8 Pro
An amazing wide angle lens with some incredible optics.
A full frame equivalent of 14-28mm, fast, clear and a joy to use.
Definitely a lens that demands respect and punches above it's weight.

Olympus 150-400mm f/4.5 Pro
Big White!
Billed as the best ever wildlife lens, and I have to agree!
A full frame equivalent of 300-800mm, but flip the built in 1.25x teleconverter in and you get up to 1000mm at f/5.6. Coupled with the OM-1 and the inbuilt Sync-IS it almost feels like cheating. Such a stunning lens and still portable enough for a days shooting without it being too much to carry and hand hold!

Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro
A true macro lens for the micro four-thirds system and crystal clear, weather sealed and fast! A perfect set up for fungi hunting in wet woodland, hunting bugs or snapping flowers!

Lumix Leica 9mm f1.7
A great wide angle lens that's lightweight and perfect for night time astro shooting. Weather sealed with the Leica name so you know you're getting quality glass.

Lumix GX-9
My go to street photography camera. Small and light enough to carry all day, compact enough to disappear into the background without getting too much attention and powerful enough to get some stunning images.
If all else fails, I bring out the GX-9 - it really is that good a street camera! Sadly only available used these days (come on Panasonic, release a new version!).

Lumix G 12-32mm f/3.5-f/5.6
A lightweight, tiny street lens that pairs perfectly with the GX-9. Incorporates Dual IS which aids lower light shooting and the full frame equivalent of 24-64mm makes it a very versatile lens to keep in my street photography bag.

Lumix Leica 15mm f/1.7
A truly magnificent piece of glass. Made with the Leica standards first and foremost, this lens oozes quality. Super clean with a separate aperture ring adds a level of versatility to street shooting that is as close to shooting a Leica Q as you can get, but without the price tag!

Olympus 45mm f/1.8
A plastic fantastic! Lightweight, fast, clean and with a focal length equivalent of 90mm full frame - it's a perfect companion for more distant street shooting where you want to be a little further away from the action, but still be able to capture it all!
