Camera Straps, you will often find me not having a camera strap, as many hours of shooting cause severe aches in my neck and shoulders. Also carrying a crossbody bag I found myself getting tangled up. However, when photographing a Wedding or long event My assistant usually carries my bag and I recommend the Holdfast Money Maker. Sizes vary so make sure you pick the right size. However as my colleagues and I discuss, over time it becomes heavy .

Here is a great Rolling Camera/lens Case ON MAJOR Sale to store all of your options and carry them for your bigger shoots like Weddings & Studio, it’s also Flight Friendly.

I love the handheld Reflectors. When you’re needing a little more light directed on your subject and if you’re like me you shoot alone on many occasions, A large reflector isn’t ideal as it’s not easy to maneuver. These are perfect to handle on your own.

I often shoot a on the go locations. I never know where I am going to be sometimes and if I find myself in a lifestyle situation. (For example Coffee Shop, Book Store, Grocery Store.) I want to be able to put out enough light that is not too harsh or direct on my subject so I will connect my Flash Bender to my mounted on Camera Speed Light the Nikon S-5000 AF Speedlight.
