In this video I talk about building a photography kit for event photography. I am coming from the perspective of a Los Angeles event photographer, but really this advice would work for a lot of different working professionals, from wedding photographers to sports photographers.
The gist of it is that the first and most important thing is to cover a wide range of focal lengths. This can be done with a 24-70 and a 70-200. Of course, f 2.8 variants are preferred, but you can get by with f4. When starting out, I recommend getting what fits your budget and upgrading down the line.
I also discuss getting “sexier” gear once you have your bases covered. This will allow you to get more creative with the look of your work.
I have been a professional event photographer in Los Angeles for 10 years while teaching photography at the same time. Follow the links below to see my work and be sure to subscribe to my channel on Youtube for more videos
