It also depends on what kind of photography you're doing: some kinds and/or shoots can be done with little equipment, some others require pretty much that you bring the studio to the location. There's no one-size-fits-all.

There's no one-size-fits-all. That's what prompted be to use that huge rolling box. I had to bring my studio to a client's house. He needed images of his artwork and I didn't want him to have to haul all his pieces to me.

Jan 24, 2014 06:54 | #48 Depends on the gig. I have a Tamrac 662 Super Rolling Studio for light stands, tripods, monopod and umbrellas. I have two Tamrac 694 Rolling strongboxes (one with cameras and lenses and speedlights, one with Quantum Qflashes and batteries). I always bring my Thinktank 30 shoulder bag with a couple lenses & doodads. Sometimes I also bring one of my two old Boda Bag shoulder bags. It's a rare event - usually a big wedding - that would see me carry all that stuff at once.

It doesn't show that those with a truckload of gear can't be the best either though. Peter

That minimalist kit is fine for portraits. Not so much for product photography lol Both true, but I thought we'd be talking weddings in the weddings and event forum. It doesn't show that those without a truckload of gear can't be the best either though. I think you may have made a grammar doodie, but I get what you're saying and agree (I think).
