A lot of photographers and filmmakers that inspire me have blogs that give back to the community, like Vincent Laforet and Chase Jarvis. I’ve decided to adopt a similar approach.
Lately, I’ve been receiving several questions about what kind of gear I use so I’ve decided to create a gear/resource page to help anyone out unsure of what tools to use on projects. I am not endorsed by any brands, I simply take the approach of using the best tools available within my budget to get the job done and deliver the best quality work possible.
So without further ado, here is the gear that I currently use (bold items are favorites):
