What’s in My Camera Bag

Step 1: Camera Bodies

I carry two bodies at every shoot — my main camera and a backup. My go-to is the Canon EOS R5 for its speed and clarity, with a Canon 5D Mark IV as a reliable secondary.

Step 2: Favorite Lenses

• 35mm f/1.4 — for storytelling and everyday versatility

• 50mm f/1.2 — perfect for portraits with creamy background blur

• 70–200mm f/2.8 — essential for ceremonies and candid moments from a distance

• 16–35mm f/2.8 — my choice for wide shots, architecture, and dramatic landscapes

Step 3: Lighting Tools

Natural light is my favorite, but I bring backup. I rely on Profoto B10 strobes for power, Godox speedlights for portability, and a set of reflectors for soft, controlled light.

Step 4: Extras That Matter

Spare batteries, multiple memory cards, cleaning kits, and even a small step stool — little details that save the day more often than you’d expect.

Step 5: Editing Tools

Once the shoot is done, the real magic happens in post. Lightroom for color grading, Photoshop for fine retouching, and Capture One for studio work make up my digital toolkit.

Bonus Tip

Your gear should support your style, not define it. The best camera is the one that helps you tell the story authentically.

Closing

My bag changes depending on the project, but the philosophy stays the same: be prepared, stay flexible, and focus on the story. Because in the end, it’s not just about the tools — it’s about how you use them.
