Hi, my name's Sam and I'm based in Essex, Uk.
I've grown up using my dads D300 since I was around 7 years old and have always enjoyed taking pictures of anything and everything that I've found interesting. Since then I've grown my portfolio slowly and recently purchased new gear, that you can see below, for my 18th. I shoot commercially for my local rugby club and sell prints from both my commercial shoots and my personal hobby shoots. Going forwards I'd like to grow this small business and expand my social media presence as well as exploring in the world of videography.
follow my socials to tag along and if you're interested, check out buying one of my prints!
MY GEAR
Below shows all of the gear that I use to take all of my images in addition to using Adobe Lightroom for all of my editing.
Nikon Z6
This is my full frame camera with a resolution of 24.5MP which is plenty for cropping right into pictures with a very low amount of noise at even quite high ISO. I have always used Nikon cameras even since my first camera probably close to ten years ago.
Nikkor 24-70mm f/4.0 S
This is the primary lens that I use when shooting street photography due to the range in focal length that it gives. although I believe that the f/2.8 version would be a lot better overall; I find the f/4.0 being one of the best bang for buck lenses.
Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 Contemporary
This is one of the best budget telephoto lenses I could find due to its incredible focal length range however I do find that f/6.3 can be quite small for some shooting sessions like taking pictures of rugby in thick cloud. I use this with the ftz adapter.
DJI RSC 2
A semi-beginner gimbal that does everything that I need it to do and more for when I have time to do videography again. works flawlessly with my Z6.
DJI Mini 2 - fly more combo
This drone is absolutely incredible for its size, weighing just below the 250g cut-off for small drones, it allows for me to fly the drone almost anywhere and capture everything in 4K with impressive lower light capabilities for shooting around sunset.
Tenba Fulton V2.0 16L
This is the bag that I keep all of my kit in 24/7 due to its size and separation within the backpack. With a separate camera compartment and a roll-top top section for general luggage, you can carry anything and everything that you need on even lengthy walks.
