In your bag No: 548, Eric Genevrier
What a bag. This is for all those who love a bit of 4×5 goodness. Nothing f¥digital about this, just good old fashioned photographic technique. Check it out.
My name is Eric. I’m currently living in Paris, working as a freelance photographer and teaching photography.
In my bag (I try to keep it the lightest possible…but it’s not so easy with 4×5 gear!) :
-Wista 45 DX
-Fuji 150mm f/5,6
-10 Fidelity Elite film older (loaded with Foma 100)
-Sirui tripod + FLM centerball 32FB head
-iPhone 4 as lightmeter
I mainly shoot landscape. But I definitively want to make more portraits in my next projects.

Thanks for sharing this with us Eric. I love it. I am pretty much convinced that my next step is a 4×5 camera.
Check out the links and make sure you come and comment.
Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com. Send me a hi resolution image of the bag (please make sure it is horizontal) and its contents, with some details about yourself and what you shoot. Oh and don’t forget your contact details (twitter, flickr, tumbler et al). Send the bag shots here.
Cheers

Interesting bag! I shoot with a Linhof Super Technika V and have been on the lookout for a backpack that could hold the camera and a couple of lenses along with the film holders. Where can I find a 4×5 film pouch like that (it looks like a Chinese brand of some sort), and the backpack looks pretty lightweight!
The bag looks to me like a freeride skiing rucksack – to carry avalanche gear: shovel, probe etc.
The tan backpack is just a standard looking tactical pack with molle connectors on it.
The case for the film holders can be found on eBay by searching for KangRinpoche. Or if you want a fancy Western brand name you can search for a Silvestri film holder bag.
Have a look at Eric’s website. Great work. Eric finds a particular visual language for each of his themes. The rhetorical / technical means, which he chooses, give his images either a documentary, poetical, dramatical or rough expression. He doesn’t leave the look of his works to an app, but makes his decisions very clearly. That’s what I call true expertise.
