MBA: What’s your favorite camera?

AS: I love shooting with my Hasselblad medium-format camera. Everything about it is exciting: the slower pace of shooting, the sound the mirror makes when you take the shot and the final images are breathtaking. The contrast between shooting high action and the Hasselblad couldn’t be more opposite. I love it.

MBA: What are your favorite lenses?

AS: My 50mm prime lens has produced some of my favorite images over the years. It’s a challenging lens to shoot with. When I’m able to nail a shot with that lens; it feels really special.
