What gear does Scott Kivowitz recommend for achieving perfect color in photography?

Hi there! I’m Scott Wyden Kivowitz.

In the material I have handy, I talk more about HDR gear in general than a specific “perfect color” kit. So rather than pretend I listed an exact setup, let me share what I actually recommend in practice for accurate, consistent color:

• Color‑calibrated monitor (with a hardware calibrator like X‑Rite or Datacolor)
• Camera set to RAW, with a custom white balance when possible
• A grey card or color target (like ColorChecker) for setting WB and creating profiles
• Consistent lighting (same color temperature) for controlled shoots

What kind of photography are you most focused on: portraits, landscapes, products, or something else?
