Inside the camera bag of Karolina Wojtasik

I'm actually shopping around for a new bag now, with the amount of travel I do they really don't have a long life. I would say a essential feature is be able to hold my computer comfortably and something that sits well on my back for long days.

What’s the most surprising thing you carry?

I’m always shocked at how often I need and use a piece of CTO.

What is the one thing you couldn’t live without?

Obviously one of my camera’s but outside of that I would say the ND filters, they almost always come in handy and allow to really bring the f-stop down on bright days.

What are some of the details that you find essential for your style of bags?

I’m actually shopping around for a new bag now, with the amount of travel I do they really don’t have a long life. I would say a essential feature is be able to hold my computer comfortably and something that sits well on my back for long days.

What are the important things for protecting your camera gear?

I used to use a pelican case but it it’s just me it becomes a lot of bag that doesn’t hold enough gear so I moved over to the rolling tenba. Water resistance is key if you are in the field a lot.

Can you give me the essential carry kit when traveling the globe (bags, accessories etc.)?

I think it tends to a very personal item depending on what you carry and how you shoot, if you don’t travel with lights your setup would be much more minimal. I think it’s key to have waterproof gear and back ups of essential pieces i.e. lenses, camera and drives. You never know what will go down when you are 2,000 miles from home.
