Here’s what I use to shoot my images:
- Sony A6000 with kitlens – I love this because it’s light weight, fast (I can catch up with my kids) and the extra magnification of a crop sensor.
- Apple iPhone 6 Plus – with the appropriate apps, it can be a great creative outlet
- MeFOTO Aluminum Daytrip Travel Tripod Kit – Titanium – light weight, I like to travel light
- J5 Tactical V1-Pro Flashlight – This 300 Lumen flashlight is useful if I want do some light painting, adding some light to the main subject
- 5-in-1 Portable Multi-disc Collapsible Reflector – although I mainly use the diffuser, it’s just nice to have all the other options.
- Manfrotto Tri Backpack – I like this backpack because of its customisable compartments, light-weight and
- JOBY GPod Mini Tripod With Magnetic Feet – It’s always handy to have a smaller tripod, to put it closer to the ground, and the flexible legs can also twist around trees
- Canvas boards to paint on for my background when I’m shooting flowers
- Black and white foam boards to act as background or reflector
- Natural Large Wooden Clothespins 4″ x 1/2″ – good for tucking back stems that’s on the way in a garden
- Mini Clothespins – for smaller, delicate plants
- Lens cleaner – here’s a good article from B&H on cleaning lens
