You don't need the most expensive equipment to get started. A digital camera (DSLR or mirrorless), a sturdy tripod, and a lens suited to landscapes (wide-angle) are a good starting point. Optional tools like ND filters, polarizers, and remote shutters can expand your creative options. Perrin also shares lightweight packing tips for shooting on the go.

Perrin has over 10 years of experience shooting landscapes in all conditions across North America. His nomadic lifestyle and work with outdoor brands have honed his skills in reading light, composing scenes, and working in tough environments. His teaching is practical and approachable, and encourages creativity and exploration.
