<\/p>\n
What equipment do professional photographers use? I get this question a lot<\/strong>. It usually comes from my students, workshop participants or from Q&A sessions when I present my work. It’s a fair question and one that I am always happy to answer as it often gives people an insight into how I create my work and the types of equipment I like to use. I thought I would share my answer to this common question for visitors here on my website’s blog which will hopefully serve as a useful resource for anyone curious about what a professional photographer uses.<\/p>\n Firstly, we must be very clear that there are many different types of photographers and they each require different types of equipment. I am a photojournalist primarily, working on news and long-form feature articles for international media. This niche of photography often requires me to work with minimal equipment, taking with me only what I can carry on my own. This can often be a challenge in itself. The equipment below therefore are the main pieces I take when I am travelling solo, working in sometimes difficult conditions where the primary aim is often to get to the location in one piece, with all equipment intact.<\/p>\n This list is just mine of course and every photographer has their own preferences for brands, lenses, add ons. etc. This set-up work for me however and might work for you too.<\/p>\n STILL CAMERA BODY AND LENSES<\/strong><\/p>\n
