Medium Format Magazine - A Peek Inside The Bag

Medium Format Magazine - A Peek Inside The Bag

Back in August I received a call from Olaf Sztaba, the editor-in-chief of Medium Format magazine. A magazine which I’d admired for some time.

Would I like to be the first photographer to be interviewed for their new monthly segment “A Peek Inside The Bag” ?

Naturally I said yes…

“I wear two hats. I’m an advertising photographer, working mainly on location, and I’m also a landscape photographer…”

Working on the Isle of Skye with the ALPA 12 STC.

In the article I talk about the main pieces of equipment that are always in my back pack.

I talk through my ALPA camera equipment and explain my preference for working with one lens.

I talk briefly too about the importance of keeping dry, the ability to keep shooting when the weather is inclement and the simple ways in which I do that.

I also discuss a few essential items that are always with me, but that aren’t generally available from camera stores!
