Camera Kit, Ross

 My camera kit is geared toward food photography, so I went with cameras and lenses recommended by some food bloggers and photographers I found online. Their biggest recommendations were something with good resolution and the tools to ensure you could get those tiny details just right. My kit includes some fun odds and ends like a lotion that works well for substituting milk, a butane torch and a lot of lighting/tripod things.

I also chose a new iPhone and tripod for it since there is so much food content creation done online and I think it would be a really fun area to get into.
