Technical Information
As in any art, the quality of the final product is in large part not directly related to the equipment used. It's not the camera that takes great pictures-it's an inanimate object. The person behind it is the one in charge of taking the great photos.
However, in a professional environment, having the best equipment is critical. I am dedicated to delivering the highest quality images, and shoot with high end digital gear, and always carry backup cameras, flashes and lenses in case my main camera malfunctions. At my disposal currently:
