"Sometimes, capturing the perfect shot isn't about what's in front of you, but how you see it."

Hi, I’m Jimmy — a Swedish photographer, YouTuber, and creative hobbyist.

I work full-time as a service technician, and in my spare time I dabble in photography and YouTube. My focus? The ordinary, everyday stuff — the kind of moments most people just walk past without a second thought. That’s where I find the most beauty and meaning.

If you’re interested in working together or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out via the contact page.

You can also find me on:

Instagram — where I post all my photography, even the bad.
YouTube — home to my long-form videos on photography, personal projects, and the occasional deep-dive or experiment.

Here you’ll find an up-to-date list of the main gear I use.

I’ve split it into simple categories depending on how and where I use it, but to be honest — most of my gear stays the same across the board. Whether I’m out for a casual photo walk, filming a YouTube video, or working on a personal project, I tend to reach for the same familiar tools that I know and trust.

Photography and YouTube are just my creative side hustle — I work full-time as a service technician — so most of the gear here has been carefully chosen, saved up for, and tested in real-world use. While a few newer items have been sent to me for review, I only keep and recommend the ones I genuinely like and use.

Please don’t feel like you need to buy the exact same stuff — most of this can be swapped for more budget-friendly options and still get fantastic results. What matters most is getting out there and creating.

Some of the product images are clickable and will take you to Amazon via an affiliate link. If you decide to buy something through those links, I’ll get a small commission (at no extra cost to you), which helps support what I do. Even if you click on one thing and end up buying something totally different, Amazon still throws a few coins my way — and that means a lot.

Thanks for your support, and I hope this gear list helps you in finding tools that suit your own creative path.

Everyday Carry

This is the gear I try to have with me at all times.
I always do my best to bring the OM-5 with me — even to work — because I never know when something worth photographing will appear. But the one thing that’s always with me is my iPhone 13. That said, I rarely enjoy shooting with it. Every time I do, I can’t help but think, “I should’ve had my real camera with me.”

OM SYSTEM OM-5

Main Camera Setup

This is my main kit for both photography and video. I don’t travel much, but whether I’m close to home or on a short trip, I like to keep things light and simple. The OM SYSTEM OM-5 paired with the OM SYSTEM 20mm f/1.4 is my current go-to setup — compact, sharp, weather-sealed, and responsible for the vast majority of my photos.

I still have the Lumix 20mm f/1.7 as well — it’s been one of my favourite lenses for years thanks to its size and character. But I recently made the switch to the OM 20mm for the faster autofocus and weather sealing, which better suits how I shoot these days.

I also keep a few other lenses around for specific needs:

Olympus 45mm f/1.8 – mostly used for YouTube thumbnails (seriously)
Olympus 12-45mm f/4 PRO – lives on my OM-1 Mark I, which I now use as my main video camera. One of the best all-around zooms for MFT: sharp, lightweight, and weather-sealed
Olympus 40-150mm f/4–5.6 – lightweight telephoto I rarely use, but it’s nice to have

For video, I’ve replaced my old Lumix G80 setup with the OM SYSTEM OM-1, mainly for its vastly better autofocus and subject tracking. It’s a serious upgrade that makes filming a lot easier — especially when I’m working solo.

This kit does everything I need without weighing me down, which makes it easy to actually bring the camera with me — and that’s what matters most.
