If I'm travelling around and want to specifically go shooting, this is my go-to kit.
The Seven Million Dollar bag by Crumpler - Discrete and tough. I've taken this to snow, and none of my gear got wet. Very roomy, and when I go on a street walk, it will fit my camera, a spare lens and my 13" Air. An absolute godsend.
D700 - I love this camera, and sad to see them go out of production.
Nikon 50mm 1.8D - My favourite lens, specially for street and even for portraits.I prefer the D series to the G series.
Tamron 28 -75mm 2.8 - This is the older version, before the more recently released 24 -70. Mostly use it for landscape and head shots.
Yongnuo 560 and Yongnuo radio triggers - Because they work just fine, and they are rugged enough for me.
Polarising filter for the 50mm, and a 10 stop grad filter for the Tamron 28-75 - The grad filter is great for long exposures. The polarising filter works well with glare, specially in cityscapes where there can be a lot of glare from windows, fountains, etc.
Extra Cards, Extra batteries for flash - 'cos you never know...
Shutter Release - for steady tripod exposures, but also very importantly for self portraits!
Vangaurd Alta Pro 246AT - great sturdy tripod. A little on the heavy side.
Light stand, cold shoe mount and Umbrellas - for off camera strobe work. The tripod carry bag will only fit the tripod, so I've actually MADE a bag out of an old pair of jeans. It can carry my tripod, 2-3 umbrellas and two light stands, and sometimes even small backdrops.
Some non- photo stuff, but REALLY important for me:
A journal - where I write ideas of photos that I want to take, or notes on what I could have done better.
A flashlight - not just for light painting. Sometimes when you are exploring cool places to take photos, it comes in handy.
Electrical tape - this is just generally useful for just about anything. It fixes equipment on the fly, and helps to stick things to walls, trees, people, etc.
About me
I am based in New York City, having recently arrived from Sydney Australia. My main interest in photography lies in capturing people; I do believe that everyone has a story to tell, and through photography you can share your interpretation of that story. While my main passion has always been black and white portraiture, my recent travels have opened my eyes up to the richness of street and nature photography.
