The setup behind this photo

I realized I haven’t really talked much about the setup I use when I’m out photographing. So here’s a little breakdown of the process behind this image — from the gear I used, to the filters and to the final edit.

The setup

I shoot with a Canon R7 and my go-to lens is the 17–55mm. It’s the one I reach for most often because it gives me enough flexibility without having to constantly change lenses.

I also carry a 50mm and a 70–200mm for when the shot calls for something different. Everything goes into my OneGo Roamer Tote Backpack from PGYTECH which has become my go-to for carrying the setup around when I’m travelling.

The filter

I think we need to talk more about filters because they can have such a big impact on the final image.

For video, I consider them essential, but I’ve found myself relying on them more and more for photography too. I almost always have some kind of filter on — whether it’s a simple ND or a combination of ND + polarizer.

I’ve been using the Chroma VND/PL – 2–5 Stop | Gold Mist from PolarPro and I really like what it adds, especially when photographing architecture. It gives me more control over the light while also helping bring out the textures and atmosphere of the scene.

The edit

The RAW file is never the final image for me. I always bring my photos into Adobe Lightroom and work on them from there — adjusting the light, colours, contrast and overall mood until they feel like the image I had in mind when I took the shot.

There’s quite a bit more that goes into my edits, though… 👀

Should I do another post breaking down my Lightroom editing process?

The final image

And this is where it all comes together. 🤎

Things I like to photograph.

Not just places, but the light, the shadows, the quiet streets, the little details, the reflections — and all the moments in between.

Happy International Photography Day! đź“·

I spent so much time photographing Rome from the outside that I felt like I had to do an interior series too.

And honestly, some of the most beautiful places I saw were hiding behind these doors. Galleria Sciarra, Galleria Doria Pamphilj and Galleria Colonna. 🤍

For me the RAW file is never the finished photograph.

It captures the scene, but not always the warmth, or the atmosphere I remember.

Editing isn’t about changing reality—it’s about bringing that feeling back.
