I’m not sure I have any grand advice, but a few simple things have stayed true for me over the years. First, the best camera for any scene is the one you have with you. Cell phones are real cameras…

Most of my photography relies on natural light. I prefer to shoot at the camera’s base ISO — many of mine are rated at ISO 64 — because it gives the cleanest possible file. That said, I’ve learned to accept…

I don’t rely on any one lens, and I prefer it that way. I let the scene dictate the lens, not the other way around. In fact, I stopped keeping a lens permanently attached to my camera specifically so I’m…
