Build A Kit, Ulrich

The type of photographer I want to be is to take close-up photos of food for a food blog.

I have also had a passion for cooking and baking and so combining photography with a food blog

is something I am very interested in. 

In my photography kit I would include: 

• Glide Gear OH 75 Overhead Portable Pole Rig$159.00

• I chose to purchase this overhead portable pole rig because I can attach my camera to it and get a shot perfectly from the top of what I am shooting. This is a great asset for food photography because I can easily shoot meals from a “looking down” perspective. 

• Nikon Z 7II Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only) $2,996.95

• This camera body is good because it has a good manual focus and can capture fine detail. The mirrorless camera lens has a high resolution. 

• Plus 4 year Allstate Complete Drops and Spills: $191.99

• Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR Camera (Body Only) $2,699.00

• This camera body is good for food photography because it has a unique still photography option and can handle up to 7 frames per second and has a variety of different lighting options. 

• 4 year protection plan $289.99

• Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 Lens $396.95

• This lens was recommended for the Canon EOS 5D mark DSLR camera. It has good drainage and a standard compact zoom covering a wide-angle lens. 

• Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S Lens: $596.95

• A 50 mm lens is recommended for food photographers because it has a great focal length. This lens is used for overhead images and also allows for more light which can help capture detail when taking a picture of food.  

• 4-year protection plan for Drops and Spills: $119.99

• Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens $1,299.00

• Another type of lens recommended was a 100mm Macro lens. These lenses are great for food photography because it is designed for close-up shooting. This lens offers minimal shake and maximum magnification. 

• 4-year protection plan $155.99

• Apple 11" iPad Pro M1 Chip (Mid 2021, 256GB, Wi-Fi Only, Space Gray) $899.00

• I chose to buy an Ipad because I think it would be a good necessity to have next to my mac book. Since my computer isn’t a touch screen, I think having something that is a touch screen would be very beneficial to create a blog 

• Apple Care 2 year protection plan $129.00

• Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) $129.00

• Angler Bi-Color LED Ring Light Kit with Stand (18") $169.00
