Answer
When traveling as a professional photographer, Scott focuses on staying light, prepared, and intentional. Here are top tips drawn from his content:
- Think before you pack: Where are you going, what will you shoot, and what will you actually use? Avoid “just in case” gear.
- Keep it minimal for family or casual trips: often one camera, one lens is enough so you can enjoy the experience too.
- Remember essentials: extra batteries, charger, memory cards, cleaning cloth, and a simple backup plan (extra cards or a small backup drive/iPad).
- Choose one solid bag that fits everything comfortably without being huge or cramped.
- For nomadic or frequent travel, build a clear specialty (e.g., headshots), market multiple locations, and pre-announce your travel dates so clients can book you.
What kind of travel are you planning—family vacation, client work, or more nomadic roaming?
