What Gear Is in Hamor’s Camera Bags?
We’re firm believers that gear does not define the photographer. The best camera in the world is the camera you currently have with you. Nowadays, that’s usually a smartphone, and a smartphone snapshot is infinitely better than no photo at all!
On the other hand, having the right gear for the job helps immensely. Our mantra is to only carry the necessities required to do the job. Everything else is just clutter. So our gear cycles through our bags and transport cases depending on the location, subject, and lighting.
