What is in my camera bag?


I have spent quite a few years collecting and curating my camera gear to fit all of the types of photography I do. From telephoto lenses for sports to my mirrorless camera to get the best photos in low light, I have got a bit of it all.

 

 

Canon R6

My main camera body and second camera is the Canon R6. I have had it for about 2 years now and it has been one of my favorite purchases. My first full frame camera was a 5D Mark iii and going from a DSLR to a mirrorless camera was a game changer for me. I was able to have a faster shutter, good low light capabilities for basketball and indoor photos, and have quiet shutter.

 

 

Portrait Lenses


My main portrait lens is the Canon EF 24-70mm 2.8. I use this with my Canon EF to RF adapter and have never had a problem with it. I love the ability to have one lens that does it all. While I love the low aperture on a prime lens, I have found that for what I use it for, it isn't that big of a deal breaker for me.

 

 

Sports Lenses


My two main sports lenses are the Canon EF 70-200 2.8 and the Canon EF 300 4. Both of these lenses are in my camera bag for every sport event I am at. My 70-200 is perfect for closes up on the court or as a wide lens for football when I am in the end zone. The 300 is my main lens for football and I use it as a secondary lens for basketball if I want to go to the other side of the court and photograph across the court or if I want to go up into the stand to get a different perspective.

 

 

Meta Glasses


I recently got some meta glasses and am loving them! They have made getting BTS footage so much easier and I have loved getting to share some of that footage with my clients. It does take some time to get used to wearing them and how to frame everything right but once i got over that learning curve, i have been using them all the time.

 

 

All the random little things


I keep lots of random things in my bag just in case. I normally try and keep at least 1-2 extra batteries for a normal shoot. For weddings, I try to have 3-4 extras. I also keep all of my sd card in my sd card case so that I can keep everything together and organized. Besides that, there are all kinds of random things from headphones to gum to my media credentials and everything in-between.
