Every piece of equipment in my kit has earned its place through countless hours in Romania's wild places. From pre-dawn owl sessions in the Carpathian forests to patient kingfisher waits along muddy riverbanks, each lens, camera body, and accessory has been tested in real field conditions.

I don't chase the latest releases - I invest in gear that performs when a rare bird finally shows itself, when the light is fading, and when there's no second chance. This is the equipment that helps me capture Romania's wildlife stories, chosen not from spec sheets, but from seasons of success and occasional heartbreak in the field.
