Since the very beginning, Nikon has been in my life. My uncle used Nikon and I always dreamt of owning one for myself - to me it’s the ‘Ferrari’ of cameras. I started out with a F90X film camera paired with a NIKKOR 70-300mm lens, which is what got me my first job as a press photographer.

 

Throughout my career, I’ve always appreciated how robust Nikon gear is. I’ve never had a camera or lens fail on me, even in the extreme climates and temperatures in which I have worked. I can’t say the same for other cameras that participants on my trips have used.

 

When it comes to mirrorless cameras, there is zero doubt in my mind that Nikon is the best camera manufacturer in the world, by a country mile. The speed and ingenuity of the Z 9 is just beyond words, allowing for new creative endeavours through its capabilities – it's so good that I own two of these. I also use a variety of lenses, including the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 and NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 lens: these are all suited to tackle tough weather and deliver on clear, detailed images of my subjects – whether I’m photographing foxes or tigers.
