In the street, I usually operate two cameras in manual mode (shutter, aperture, and focusing; without metering) in the tradition of Cartier-Bresson, placing an emphasis on spontaneity. In the studio I use a variety of analog and digital cameras, ranging from 35 mm, through medium format, to large format. For the photographers, my street kit comprises of a Leica M6 (film) body, a Leica (digital) M8.2 body, a Leica 50mm SUMMICRON f/2 lens, a Zeiss Ikon 28mm f/2.8 T* lens, and a Leica SF 20 flash with a hotshoe extension cord. In the studio, I tend to use a Canon 5D and a 50 mm prime lens for most of my color work. I also have a Canon 30D that has been modified for deep infrared work (> 830 nm). My B&W work is almost always in film, employing either one of three Hasselblad systems in medium format or one of two 4x5 view cameras. I tend to prefer to use natural light, but when I use artificial light, I tend to use continuous tungsten studio lighting (for greater control), but I also use flash systems.
