Looking Inside Your Camera Bag

Most professional photographers learn very quickly to streamline their equipment to the bare essentials so that they aren’t hauling tons of equipment to every session. Being loaded down with too much equipment can affect your spontaneity. If you carry your camera by its strap over your shoulder, try carrying a Shootsac over the other shoulder to hold your lenses and cards (www.shootsac.com). This gives you a great deal of freedom and flexibility.

Consolidate your equipment so that everything fits into one bag. The contents of my camera bag is shown in 9-9. Take a peek into a working photographer’s bag.
