A photographer’s backpack is always unique to the photographer. I will show you what’s in my backpack and include why I love the gear I have.
I also want to preface this with the fact that the equipment of a photographer is purely a compliment to their skills. The equipment is not a determinant in the success of a photographer.
You could own the most basic gear and still create outstanding photographs.
You could own the highest tech, high-end gear and produce pretty mediocre photos.
That’s the beauty of art. The art is created not by the tools, but by the artist herself.
So, take what I say and use it for yourself, but also, remember that you are the creator of your photos. Your photos become your piece of art because of your style and personality. If you focus on telling your story, you will be successful and create the beautiful photos you dream of.
With that being said, here’s a list of what’s in my backpack, organized by what I use the most to least!

Canon 35mm 1.4f II – MY ALL TIME FAVE!
Canon 24-70mm 2.8f Mark I – Mainly used for weddings or when I need a super wide-angle
