Photography FAQ: Do I need multiple camera bags?

Written by: Lawrence


When I first started out in photography I thought all i needed was one good bag. So I was in search for an all in one. Keep in mind at that time, I did not do studio photography. I concentrated mainly on landscape/outdoor photography. That is where you start in photography when lights are not apart of the arsenal. With that in mind, I searched for a light and easy to access camera bag. My search led me to the Lowepro Topload Zoom AW.

As I grew more into photography in terms of photography style, I required more and more space. I started to bring my laptop to my Los angeles photo shoots. I also purchased my first speed-light the Nikon SB600. Therefore, I went back to the camera store and searched for a bag that can house my laptop and photography equipment. I then found the LowePro CompuTrekker AW.

This backpack allowed me to carry my photography equipment and laptop at the same time. Note that if you have a 15.4 Macbook pro with a clear hard-shell case, the space will be a little tight. If you have a 10 inch netbook, It should be a perfect fit.

Ok now a few months pass and I need to travel and require a bag that can carry my clothes and camera gear. So through further research and guidance from experienced photographers, I found the Think Tank Photo Airport Security V2.0.

This bag allowed me to go through the airport worry free and go through all of Security without hassle. Make sure to look out for the equipment reviews for all of the products mentioned soon.

In Conclusion, one bag isn’t enough. Buy a bag for each purpose and your workflow and organization abilities will surly improve and make your photo shoot a little more efficient.

As a weekend photographer, I found myself with limited time and limited resources in terms of expanding my photographic ability due to my career. Like many weekend photography warriors, there are only 2 hours on the weekdays and maybe 8 hours or so total on the weekend to learn and grow. These time constraints is what motivated me into creating this online photography resource. I needed a photography hub where all the information I referred to is stored in one easy to navigate online location. I see this more of my online repository of photography information gathered through time. I am very proud of the success of my blog offering of "Photographer Interview Series". You will read in-depth interviews from the photography world's famous photographers. Names like David Tejada, Nick Onken, Michael Grecco and David Bean to name a few. The interview series has also expanded to include weekend photographers and now wedding photographers with the similar goal of learning from each other. My goal is to evolve this site to be the premier go to resource for photographer interviews and equipment reviews.
