What gear and tools does Scott Kivowitz recommend for effective photography workflows?

I lean on a mix of solid capture gear and reliable workflow tools so things stay fast and consistent, especially for high-volume work.

On the gear side, I typically recommend:

1. A dependable mirrorless or DSLR body with dual card slots
2. Fast, large-capacity memory cards
3. A sturdy tripod and simple lighting kit (speedlights or small strobes)

For workflow and business tools, I’m a big fan of:

1. Lightroom or similar for culling and batch editing
2. Reliable backup (local plus cloud)
3. A good client gallery system
4. Outsourced transcription (like Rev) and licensed music services (for photo/video content)

What part of your workflow are you trying to improve most: shooting, editing, or delivery?
