So what’s in my Camera Bag? If we wait for the perfect moment, for that lightbulb spark in our head then we will never follow our dreams. Photography has allowed me to indulge in my passion and push boundaries within myself, both physically and mentally.

When I started, I felt I needed all the gadgets to achieve, when actually what is more important than all the gear, is a story to tell, your story.

Gear, or lack thereof, is a common excuse people use, to not pursue photography as a passion. I think there’s this idea that if you don’t have the perfect camera, the newest, the best, then you’re not ready to be a photographer.

Equipment is always improving, always evolving. Half of them I don’t regularly use now. There are there to bring my ideas to life.

So don’t worry if some of this gear is not in your budget. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last couple of years since I quit my job, it’s that you don’t need a ton of lenses, or an expensive camera to be a good photographer.

All you need is a vision, the drive to make it a reality, and practise. For six months before I started, I would spend my evening watching youtube tutorials. How to edit, how to use Adobe Premiere Pro, what is the aperture.

Practise makes perfect, and I am nowhere near there yet, I am always learning and keen to experiment.

That being said, here’s what’s in my camera bag!
