My first contact with photography was many years ago: I was 9 and my dad had a second-hand Olympus OM-10 (which still works beautifully to this day). From then on, I immersed myself in the world of photography learning about cameras, light and all the technicalities of the craft.

What’s in my bag

Having always been a big fan of Nikon, I’ve recently jumped ship into Canon’s fleet. As a previous owner of a Nikon D70 and a D80, I reckoned it was time to upgrade to a full-frame — and what a better choice than the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

This decision wasn’t an easy one since I had quite a good glass collection for the Nikons. Currently I’m shooting with a couple of primes: the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM and a cheap Canon EF 35mm f/2.

For film shooting I use the Kinotehnik LCDVF, The Røde Videomic, the Zoom H1 and seldom use a Manfrotto Monopod.

I always carry another camera with me: my trusty iPhone 4.

Moi même

When I’m not siting in front of a computer, I generally am taking photos (duh), listening to music (french touch ftw), enjoying a nice plate of food (sipping on some wine), or planning the next trip (would love to be a full-time traveler).
