The Only 2 Lenses I Use For Pro MTB Photography

In this video I’m at Queenstown slopestyle, running a full day of action sport photography with just two lenses – the setup I rely on most for MTB shoots.

You’ll see me:
• Shoot the whole event on these 2 lenses
• Explain why I choose each one in different spots for action sports

If you’re stuck overthinking your kit and just want to see how a working photographer actually uses lenses at a real event, this will help.
