How do professional photographers prepare their photographic bags?

Lead: There are some simple things to remember when you need to prepare a camera bag for outdoor shooting.

How do professional photographers prepare their photo bags 1? Choose the right package. I have a smart camera bag (Jo Totes brand) and a suitcase in Le Shebao. I use different bags at different times. For example, when I go out to shoot, I will pack all the equipment in my suitcase. And if it's just a personal trip, or when it rains (the ground is covered with mud), I will use a backpack.

2. Fully charge the battery and bring the charger.

3. Prepare the memory card and format it. Nothing is more annoying than stopping to change the memory card in the middle of shooting and waiting for 20 seconds to clean up the photos of Cary last week.

4. Check the spare batteries of the flash to make sure they are within reach. If you only need to use it for a while, you'd better change the battery before using it. It should be noted that used waste batteries must be thrown away in time. Even if you put it in your pocket, it may cause trouble. I can assure you that you will forget that these batteries have been used.

5. Make sure you bring lens cleaning supplies.

6. Business card. Put a stack of business cards in all camera bags, handbags and coat pockets. If you notice who may become a potential customer, give him a business card and show him your work on a blog or website.

7. A pen. It doesn't seem important, but I find I need at least a pen.

A small folding umbrella. Never put it back in the bag wet.

9. In all my photo bags, I always put a list of items so that I can check my equipment quickly before going out.
