I’ve spent the last eight years crawling through abandoned hospitals, shuttered factories, and forgotten Cold War bunkers with a camera in one hand and a headlamp in the other.

I remember unboxing my first DSLR about ten years ago, fumbling with the mode dial and wondering why my shots looked nothing like the images on the box. That learning curve is real, but the right camera makes it enjoyable rather than frustrating. After spending three … Read more

I have spent more weekends than I would like to admit staring at the dark insides of drain pipes, engine bays, and wall cavities. A few years ago I bought a cheap USB endoscope online and was so disappointed that I almost gave up on the whole category. Then I started testing the latest models … Read more

I’ve spent the last decade shooting portraits at weddings, in studios, and on the street, and I can tell you with absolute confidence: the lens you mount on your camera changes your portraits more than any other piece of gear. After testing dozens of options over the past year, I narrowed down the best fast … Read more

I have been shooting documentary projects for over a decade, and the camera I trust most on a real assignment is almost always a DSLR.
