"SO, WHAT GEAR DO YOU USE?"
I hear this question way too often. Gear is not important. At least nowhere near how important composition/lighting and post processing are! But I have a quick list of what I use. Anything listed below, I swear by. I'm not sponsored, I use what works for me! Another thing you should know about me is keep my gear to a minimum and use ZERO filters.
