Le Saux prefers to keep his kit simple, using just an Alexa 35 camera and Panavision C Series lenses, and relies on his iPhone 14 Plus and Lumos sun/moon tracking app to scout locations and plan shots.
Beyond his camera gear, Le Saux's must-have items include a vintage Nikon FE2 film camera, a JBL speaker for blasting music in his hotel room, and a variety of hats to protect his 6'5'' frame from the sun.
