“I like to approach my digital photography with a certain sense of the fantastical and the surreal,” Stewart told PetaPixel. He uses a technique called bracketed multiple exposure, which allows him to retain highlight details from different photographs before stacking them together into one picture.

“These before and after samples are simply meant to highlight what can be done with the power of Photoshop,' says Stewart. "As such, I have deliberately provided the most dramatic examples.”

Peter Stewart, a skilled photographer, mainly relies on his Nikon D810 for a bulk of his work, attributing its use to its remarkable resolution and the broad latitude it offers for editing raw files. Recently, he has also begun using the Fuji X100f as his secondary, handheld camera for capturing spontaneous scenes during his travels.

His love for street photography is perfectly met by the compact and handy Ricoh GR, while he saves his more bulky DSLR setup for occasions when he's typically tripod based and has a pre-planned setup in mind.

Being a full-time traveller, every piece of equipment that Stewart carries has a weight implication, making minimal lens weight a top priority for him. He generally relies on the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 & Nikon 70-200 f/4 zooms as his primary optics to cover a wide to tele focal ranges.

For ultra-wide scenes and architecture, his preferred lens is the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 prime. Stewart praises this lens for being an affordable, low-cost, and lightweight option that easily matches the optical quality of many other more expensive wide-angle primes.
