Published aviation photographer
Hi, I'm Taylor, a student and published aviation photographer. My current gear is a Canon EOS R7 paired most of the time with a Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens, or a Canon 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM for ultrawide shots.
I've been planespotting since June 2022, when I started with a Panasonic Lumix FZ-82 bridge. I upgraded my kit in December 2022 (80D + Sigma 150-600mm) and again in December 2023 (R7) as the quality from the bridge was not meeting my expectations for sharpness and reliability, and I wanted better autofocus than the 80D could offer. I hope you enjoy my shots, and I will continue to work on my editing to deliver the best content possible!
Best,
Taylor Peake - Peakepics
