Fernando Decillis

I’ve been shooting professionally for 12 years, specializing mostly on people for ads and magazines. Mainly environmental portraiture, also people in action.

I have to be able to move quickly most of the time. Over the years my travel equipment has gotten a lot lighter. These are my essentials, they are with me at all shoots, no matter how small. Unless I’m making pictures of my kids, I’m running around with just my camera.
