Take a peak inside this landscape photographer’s backpacking bag to get an idea of the camera and camping gear that you might want to bring on your next adventure. I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things to do when I was first learning about photography was watching those classic “what’s in my camera bag” videos on YouTube. Looking back on all of those hours spent hunched over my computer, I tend to let out a chuckle. But at the same time, watching those videos definitely did give me a better understanding on how I might approach photography gear, especially in the outdoors. 

In this video, Adam Karnacz, a.k.a. First Man Photography, gives us an on-site look at what goes into his backpacking bag for his photography adventures in the great outdoors. Karnacz is an English professional landscape and wedding photographer, as well as a filmmaker. The creative also has a massive YouTube vlog presence, with 103-thousand followers.

After a few minutes watching this video, you may be surprised at just how much equipment and gear that Karnacz is able to fit in his bag. As an outdoor photographer myself, I can attest to the importance of finding the right backpack that matches your shooting style, as well as fits all of your personal gear. We all have a slightly different kit, so finding the right pack might take a while through trial-and-error. Karnacz uses an F-stop bag, but I personally use a pack made for only hiking, then add in my own F-stop ICU, instead. But at the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference.

Watch the above video to see what this creative keeps in his pack for shooting outside, and hopefully it helps on your next outdoor photography adventure.
