Simple Street Photography Gear in 2024

It's 2024 and I have camera gear -- and -- what better way to carry your gear than to put it in a bag? Well, you're in luck because that's exactly what I did. Now, this isn't all of my gear but a select set of a few pieces that help me achieve the type of work that I do.

There's definitely a difference between what you take for casual documentary photography and what you take for your professional work -- at least for me. I often end up taking one or two pieces of gear out with me on my daily photo walks which usually amounts to one camera and maybe 2 lenses. However, I wanted to showcase the kind of equipment I take on a day where I don't know specifically what I want to film.

I think I'm also going to make a video about what I pack for a day of professional photography and what differences and similarities there are between them. The thing I love about having a Fujifilm camera is that they are great companion cameras to what I would call a workhorse camera like my Sony A7iv. Let me know if you're interested!

I know these aren't everyone's favourite videos but I do get asked sometimes and I figured this is the best way to answer them -- as well as get more content. Also, it's my channel -- so if you are reading this, comment your favourite way to eat potatoes.

As a bonus, I got a comment about how to normalize audio levels for YouTube standards and this is the first video implementing that. So, that's fun.

If you're still reading this, comment your favourite type of cheese and if it would pair well with your potatoes.
