    With all due respect, people complain too much, it was amazing too se what’s in professional’s bags and studios, I can compare my rig to them, and take a look on what Can I be missing, what can I improve, or even find other professional pats, vey inspiring, I didn’t read the foot line, instead I was trying to guess what kind of photographer they are, you can see there is a pattern, and that weddings usually takes a looooott of equipment, I would love to see similar articles, thanks and keep the good work.

    They all have way too much equipment to be thoroughly familiar with any of it. And way too much to fit in any reasonably sized bag … never mind try to carry it further than the disance from the car to the pavement.

    What’s in your “CAMERA BAG” not what’s in your “STUDIO”!!!!!! Seriously, this article title is completely wrong. I’ve been a working pro for over 30 years and there’s absolutely no way I’d list every freaking piece of gear in my studio if I were asked “WHAT’S IN YOUR CAMERA BAG”.

      The majority of the images are what’s in their bags, Steve.

    Lovely information and images However, it seems all the people you interviewed were indoor photographers! As a result being a hobbyist, I failed to learn what equipment systems a nature & wildlife photographer carries for distant photography missions!

    Hope to see some inputs for this genre as well in future.

    Thank you for post.
