In your bag 731, Andrea Di Lorenzo
A professional food photographer, a bag and a cat…Wow. Andrea shares his  professional work bag with us. Check it out.

My name is Andrea Di Lorenzo, I’m a food photographer based in Rome, Italy.

I generally work on location, high-end restaurants, vineyards, resorts and luxury hotels, and, I must admit, I’m the kind of photographer who is used to back up a lot of things in his bag! :D

In this days I work with a Canon 5D MarkIII (but I always travel with a backup camera, 5D MarkII, and a Micro 4/3 Fuji X10) and a couple of lenses: the Canon 24-105 f4 and the Canon 100 Macro f2.8. This is the basic setting but, as you can imagine, I prefer to be safe than sorry! So, let me introduce you to my other friends: Canon 16-28 f2.8, Canon 50 f1.8 and Canon 70-200 f2.8. You don’t know what you can find on your way nowadays!

Being a food photographer means that I have to work a lot with the light, both natural and artificial: I always carry with me two small flashes, the Canon 430EXII and the Nikon SB-900, a 126 LED light panel, a small light-box, a tripod, a monopod, radio syncro-flash, battery charger and a polarizer.

Then I have my agenda, pens, 2 CF cards waterproof bag, 4 Canon 5D batteries, a bunch of AA batteries, a Rode Stereo Mic and other little stuff. The cat is not included in my bag! :D

By the way: I’m actually working with a Lowepro Pro Runner 450 AW Nero. Not very satisfied with it, I think I’m going to change it with another one. Any advice?

Best regards!

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. Please understand that there is a long wait now as there is a backlog of submissions. Not all make the cut, so make sure yours is funny/interesting/quirky. And please make sure the shot is of good quality, as the ones that are not do not go up.
