    I get many questions pertaining to my equipment, so here’s my complete list of things I use on a daily basis when doing shoots. It’s important to remember that this list will constantly be changing and evolving, because I think it’s important to advance my equipment as my skills grow and I find other useful things to use. In addition, it’s important to understand that no two photographers will use all the same equipment for their different styles- I utilize my own equipment to best fit my skills, style, and especially my niche in food photography, which a lot of my gear is specialized for.
