What are Scott Kivowitz's top tips for traveling as a professional photographer?

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?
