EQUIPMENT
Choosing the right camera package is never one-size-fits-all. Every story, budget, and production calls for a different setup. I own both a Ronin 4D and a fully equipped Sony PXW-FX9 kit. The body and rigging are modular and highly versatile—ready to adapt to a wide range of shooting scenarios.
FX9 CAMERA-PACKAGE
The FX9 has a dual native ISO. The sensor is extremely clean at 800 ISO and therefore very suitable for high-end shoots with sufficient light. 4000 ISO makes the camera extremely light sensitive and very suitable for documentary and productions with little available light. The camera can be used in 4K Super 35 (Academy standard) and 6K FULL FRAME mode.

OPTICS
I own a carefully selected set of lenses that cover a wide range of looks, from modern anamorphic to characterful vintage glass. My Blazar Mantis anamorphic primes bring cinematic scope and flexibility, while my zooms and vintage primes allow for precise control or distinctive textures depending on the project.
For larger productions I also work with rental houses, tailoring the lens package to the creative and technical needs of each shoot.
