What gear does Scott Kivowitz recommend for photographers interested in landscape and portrait photography?

Hi, I’m Scott Kivowitz from . How can I help?

Based on the resources shared across content, there are a few consistent gear categories recommends for landscape and portrait photographers:

• Stable support: A solid tripod is essential for landscapes, especially long exposures.
• Quality lenses: Wide or ultra‑wide lenses for landscapes; fast primes or short telephotos for portraits.
• Lighting tools for portraits: One to three light setups using brands like Profoto and Westcott, plus basic modifiers (softboxes, umbrellas, reflectors).
• Tethering and workflow: Tether Tools for shooting tethered, and Imagen for speeding up editing.
• Carry and support: Spider Holster and Think Tank Photo for comfortable, secure carry.

Are you more focused on building a landscape kit, a portrait kit, or a hybrid setup?
