“The focal length of 16mm was absolutely perfect to capture the essence of this fire and moon lit night.” Photo by Lawrence Leyderman. Atmospherics add drama, depth, and dimension to a photo & to be able to go out in those conditions you need to have gear that can stand up to them, and Sony has the build to do just that!

Extreme heat and cold, sandstorms, snowstorms, lightning and rainstorms… you name it - the more brutal, the more I want to be out there. Aside from my own clumsiness, there are the conditions that I always find myself in. Sony stands up to that test - I've had one of my camera bodies roll down a mountain and still work, and once or twice I've had a camera fall off the Jeep after leaving it sitting on a fender and driving off. The toughness and quality of the gear I use is as important to me as the quality of my imagery. Whenever I go off trekking into the woods or on any adventure away from the vehicle, I’m able to customize my bag with whatever I’m planning to shoot in mind. Being a photographer with a gear addiction makes this the perfect way to explore while having everything on hand. Overlanding photographer Lawrence Leyderman gives us a look at the photography gear you’ll find in his expedition-outfitted Jeep.Ī few years ago, I decided to outfit my Jeep to be an expedition vehicle with a roof top tent that can get me to most places safely and allow me to have everything I need to survive in remote areas for long periods of time. Exploring places I’ve never been in the dark, and braving storms to catch a dramatic sunset - the thrill and rush of it all makes me feel so alive. Waking up before the rest of the world to catch the sunrise and going to bed after everyone is already asleep. I love testing myself creatively, mentally, and physically. I’m absolutely addicted to every aspect of photography and the great outdoors – the planning, scouting, execution, shooting, processing, & then ultimately sharing, teaching, & inspiring. I disappear into the moment, transcend into another world, get hyper focused, excited, happy and more present than ever.

When I’m out there in nature shooting, I forget about everything. The challenge of getting to and capturing remote, yet exquisite landscapes in a dramatic fashion has been and always will be my dream! Exploring the great outdoors, and inspiring others to do the same are my passions. The feeling I get from being out in nature is second to none. Hey guys, my name is Lawrence Leyderman ( – I’m a photographer, explorer, overlander, outdoor junkie, and part-time nomad.
