What gear does Scott Kivowitz recommend for modern photographers?

I recommend building a kit around three big areas: shooting, workflow, and business.

For shooting:

1. Think Tank Photo and MindShift Gear bags for durability and layout
2. Spider Holster for carrying cameras comfortably
3. Profoto or Westcott lighting, plus basic modifiers (softbox, umbrella, reflector)

For workflow:

1. Imagen for fast, consistent editing
2. Tether Tools for reliable tethering on set
3. Solid backup (external drives plus cloud)

For business/marketing:

1. Flodesk for email marketing
2. A website you control, with simple lead capture and galleries

What kind of photography are you doing (portraits, weddings, commercial, something else)?
