What gear does Scott Kivowitz recommend for modern photographers?

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

For shooting:

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

For workflow:

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

For business/marketing:

• Flodesk for email marketing
• A website you control, with simple lead capture and galleries

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