When I first started out, I had a very small budget, but very big ideas and I was determined to get the best shots I possibly could. This still rings true, but I have my trusty Nikon gear to thank for helping me keep the faith.

 

One of my all-time favourite cameras for wildlife photography is the Nikon Z 9. It has a faster frame rate than previous models, a fantastic ISO range, and a quiet shutter release mode, which is imperative when shooting wildlife in their natural habitat.

 

This, paired with my love of using big lenses, means I feel pretty much unstoppable when going into any environment. The trust I have in my gear, for example, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S and NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S lenses, is invaluable. They have a fantastic reach, allowing me to take detailed photographs of my subjects without disturbing them – which for me, is key in everything I do.
