In the mid-1990s, I purchased my first SLR camera, the Olympus OM30. Since then, my equipment has evolved from analog to digital and from SLR to mirrorless cameras. One thing, however, has remained constant: my trust in Olympus, now known as OM System. Today, I rely on the OM System OM-1mkII and the Olympus OM-1, two cameras that perfectly suit my needs as a professional photographer.

Why Olympus / OM System?

OM System’s philosophy aligns seamlessly with my approach to photography. The cameras and lenses are compact and lightweight, allowing me to carry all my equipment in a single bag. This flexibility enables me to adapt quickly to changing conditions, whether I’m photographing in rain, wind, or sunshine.

Despite their portability, OM System cameras deliver exceptional image quality. Their full weatherproofing gives me the confidence to shoot in even the most challenging weather. What sets OM System apart are its advanced features, including HDR, focus stacking, Live ND filters, and subject recognition, which greatly expand my creative possibilities.

With the release of the OM-1, OM System has once again proven itself to be at the forefront of innovation. It’s no surprise that this camera has become a cornerstone of my gear collection.

Ambassador for OM System

Since 2022, I’ve been an official member of the OM System Ambassador Team, a partnership I’m incredibly proud of. As an ambassador, I share my experiences and insights about the gear and inspire other photographers to get the most out of their equipment. I look forward to continuing this exciting collaboration in the future.
