The right gear can make all the difference between a mundane snapshot and a mesmerizing masterpiece. It's an art form that requires not only a keen eye but also a set of tools that can transform your creative vision into reality. As a passionate photographer, I have embarked on countless adventures armed with my trusted photography gear, and in this blog post, I am excited to unveil the ensemble of equipment that has become the heart and soul of my photographic journey. Whether you're a fellow photography enthusiast or simply curious about the tools that bring images to life, I invite you to dive into the world of my favorite photography gear.
My Photo Gear
These are actual items that I have purchased and use in my photography business on a daily or weekly basis to create portraits, product, and real estate photography.
Canon EOS 800D T7i
I shoot with a Canon because they are one of the oldest and most reputable names in photography. This camera has been great to get me started, although I am excited to upgrade to mirrorless in the future.
Crossbody Camera Strap
I love the security and versatility of this crossbody camera strap. It securely screws on to the bottom of your camera to prevent dropping.
Godox External Flash
I sometimes use an external flash when taking photos of clients in low light situations.
1 TB External Hard Drive and Case
I back up all of my personal and session photos on separate external hard drives to prevent losing any images.
Helping Hands Tool
This tool is amazing for use with product photography. You can attach the tool to a table or board with the grip and use the clips to hold products or other accessories in place while shooting.
Foam Product Risers
These foam risers are just the thing for elevating your products when shooting. They also come in a variety of colors too!
Microsoft Surface Pro 8
When shooting product or real estate photography, I typically have my camera mounted onto a tripod to provide stability. I often use my tablet to remotely shoot.
Rugged Tablet Case
Since I often use my tablet to shoot remotely, I like to keep it in a rugged case for protection.
