Build a Kit, Smith

 Travel Style Kit

The motivation behind my camera equipment and choices revolves around the idea of becoming a travel photographer. Two of my camera bodies chosen were photo-specific, both built for travel and performance. The drone and Sony Alpha 7C are meant for videos, something that would also be interesting for a travel photographer. My backpacks chosen are compact, not too large, and are still able to fit all of my materials. Besides the actual equipment that helps with image quality and style, I needed a rain cover, a Creative Cloud subscription to edit photos/videos, and a gimbal to stabilize my videos.
