One of his favorite gears is the BeetleCam, which has a remote for his DSLR camera. These inventions have served to take shots of night animals and other dangerous and shy species which are not used to have humans around. Africa again is his primary source of inspiration, and a great part of his work has been developed there. As he has taken photos on the wild, he has become more and more aware of conservation.
