    What's in my camera bag

    Unpack your kit piece by piece: the body, the lenses, where the SD cards and spare batteries live.

    A day on set

    You arriving at a photo studio or at a beautiful location and your camera bag in the corner of the frame while you work. Show the results of your shots.

    Then and now

    Your bag the week it arrived next to today. Scuffs, softening, patina.

  4. 04

    Out on the street

    Bag on, camera out. Your city, carried the way you actually carry it.

Questions

Do I need a big following?
No. We care about the work, and some of our favourite videos will come from photographers who barely post.
Do I have to post it publicly?
No. Send a private Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer link and we'll take it from there.
Can I shoot on my phone?
Yes. Good light and real use matter more than the camera.
I bought my bag from a retailer. Can I still take part?
Yes. Everyone who carries one of our bags is welcome.
