The companies below have been chosen carefully as companies who produce excellent products to help me in my work as a humanitarian, travel and cultural documentary photographer. I would never endorse any companies in which I feel market products that are not suitable for the environments in which I work. As part of my sponsorship agreements with these companies I will be producing educational material, giving webinars on the subject of photography and also be posting in-depth and honest field tested reviews of their products. Keep your eye on my blog!. If you are a company producing products you feel would benefit me in the work I do I would love to hear from you!

“With a growing number of people leading active lifestyles and travel becoming more accessible there is an increased demand to carry more equipment and therefore better bags to store, carry and protect all your gear. This growing demand has meant an explosion of bags but with the disadvantage of each bag working on their own and often not very practical when needing to be carried together or used for a multitude of activities. This is where the Coordinate Gear system stands out from the others“
