The camera matters less than what you do with it, but people ask what I shoot with. This is the current kit I reach for most often.
My current camera body. The A7R V is a high-resolution full-frame mirrorless camera built around detail, dependable autofocus, and enough flexibility to move between controlled portrait work and location shooting.
A compact standard prime that keeps the setup light while still giving me the shallow depth of field and natural perspective I want for portraits and everyday shooting.
A fast wide-angle prime for environmental portraiture, interiors, location work, and frames where the surroundings need to stay part of the story.
A portrait-first lens with flattering compression, strong subject separation, and the kind of depth that works especially well for close portraits and controlled editorial frames.
A longer portrait prime for tight framing, strong compression, and clean separation when I have room to work. It is especially useful outdoors and in larger spaces.
A compact battery-powered strobe that gives me enough output for location work without dragging a full studio setup into every space.
A daylight-balanced continuous light I can use when I want to see the lighting pattern in real time or when the setup benefits from continuous illumination.
The tools change over time. The approach does not: choose the focal length, light, and camera settings that serve the person and the idea instead of making the session about equipment.
