Nowadays, I use the Fujifilm system for my photography. It gives me the highest possible image quality in an incredibly mobile and lightweight package. This system also inspires me to get out into the field, always searching for light, colors, and creative compositions.

The system is extremely robust and has become my companion on beautiful sunny days as well as in extreme conditions, far below freezing in the snow. It gives me the confidence that I can always rely on my gear — and that is truly reassuring.
