My Favorite Studio and Photography Gear
I’ve been in the photography world for quite a few years now. Over my time I’ve learned through trial and (at times very interesting) error what gear is a ride-or-die and what is really just a flop. From cameras to seamless paper, I’ve compiled a list of all my faves.
& thank me later!
