PRO STORIES: DENIS RULE

MEET OLYMPUS PHOTOGRAPHER DENIS RULE

WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU WERE A PHOTOGRAPHER?

The photo bug hooked me at the age of 14. After graduating from college I began my photo career as a underwater photographer in 1982.

INTRODUCING OLYMPUS

How did you get started with the Olympus system?

I was introduced to the Olympus system by Paul Elliott, an Olympus Sales rep.

What’s your go-to Olympus setup?

My go-to setup always starts off with the OM-D E-M1 Mark II with the M.Zuiko 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO lens.

Also in my bag are:

• 2 OM-D E-M1 Mark II bodies
• M.Zuiko 12-40mm F2.8 PRO
• M.Zuiko 7-14mm F2.8 PRO
• M.Zuiko 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO
• M.Zuiko 45mm F1.2 PRO
• M.Zuiko 300mm F4.0 IS PRO
• M.Zuiko 12mm F2.0
• MC-14 Teleconverter 
• FL-900R 
• Tough TG-5

How does Olympus help you do your job?

For me, the Olympus advantages are:

• Light weight
• Weather sealing
• Image stabilization is so good that I hardly ever use a tripod

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A MEMBER OF THE OLYMPUS FAMILY?

The best thing about being part of the Olympus family is the support. There is always someone available to help out with any questions I might have.

Take the 365 photo challenge, committed to taking at least one quality photo each day and post it to your favorite social media site.
