Recently I was asked by Matt Ballard from Art of the Image to write an article for his blog about my switch from a smaller sensor size to full frame (36mm x 24mm) sensor size. I feel this subject has been talked about quite a bit a few years ago and has resurfaced due mainly to the improved noise reduction of current smaller-sensor cameras. So instead of boring you all with pixel pitch, heat dissipation, megapixel counts and crop factors, I will speak mostly of my own personal journey and say that my transition to a full frame sensor was and continues to be one of the most important things to happen to me as a photographer. Because all discussions such as these require a frame of reference, first a little about me.
I am a professional photographer and documentary filmmaker with over 17 years of experience. I am currently employed as the head of photography for a major healthcare company. In my journey as a photographer and filmmaker, I have been exposed to lots of equipment; some good, some bad, all a compromise between what I need and how much I have to spend.
