The $10 item every Portrait photographer must have in his or her kit

What’s the one thing in my location kit that I’m most grateful for day in day out?

85mm lens? Tripod? Pocket wizards? Light meter? Nutella (don’t judge me, it’s fat free ok?). While all these items are amazing, the one thing I’m most grateful for is kneepads. Yep, that’s right, knee pads. I bought mine from hardware superstore, Bunnings (where dreams come true).

I shoot about 50% of my portraits from a low angle and kneeling on roads and wet grass all day long is a drag.

These fit in the top of my camera bag and make long shoots so much easier and I’m not wearing out my jeans as fast!
