What's In My Camera Bag? You Are In for a Surprise

In this video, I will tell you what is in my camera bag. You're in for a surprise. Even though I am a professional photographer and a filmmaker, my camera equipment and gadgets you would never expect from me. Most of my equipment are not so expensive and are not latest equipment out there. As a photographer and as a filmmaker, my cameras are just tools. I don't usually upgrade nor buy a new equipment unless it is a necessary. That means the equipment should have a feature I cannot survive without I'm order to do my photography and filmmaking work. The camera brands I prefer are Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Canon and of course, Leica. I do have a gimbal which is the Zhiyun. I also have the Sekonic light meter. I also have the Zoom digital recorder which I love to use for voice over, podcasting, as an external mic for shooting video. I also use different action cameras such as Akaso, Sunpack, and other inexpensive brands. The great thing about having many of these cameras is that you can shoot a scene only at once with different camera angles. I also have the Insta360 camera which I love since I don't have to worry about covering all the angles when shooting something that can only be shot once. One thing about me as a photographer and as a filmmaker, I don't buy any new equipment or upgrade what I have unless it is really necessary. I always ask myself. "Do I really need this equipment?" "Can I survive as a photographer and as a filmmaker without this equipment?" An equipment is just a tool. What is important is my vision and what I am trying to tell with my images and videos.

Considering Doing a Photography and Video Project about Malaysia.

Come to think of it, I think doing a photography and video project about Malaysia would be very interesting just because of its multicultural and multi-ethnic society, which is comprised of the Malays, Indians and Chinese. It is like a melting pot just like in the US but here in Asia. Majority of the population is Muslim (Most of the Malays are Muslim), and yet other religions such as Hinduism (Most Indians are Hindus) and Buddhists (Most Chinese are Buddhists) exist here; nevertheless, they respect each other. What do you think? Should I do this photography and video project?

Going to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Since I am going to Kuala Lumpur and Penang, Malaysia, I am now considering doing a photography and video project over there too. I think it has a great history and culture which I need to learn and explore. Considering that I am doing a project on mostly Buddhist countries, zI think it would be good to showcase a Muslim country too. Also knowing that Malaysia is a multi-cultural country with Indian and Chinese people, this would be an interesting topic to explore too. As I do this, I will document what I discover with my camera, capturing both photographs and video footage along with it.

Patreon - For Those Who Would Like to Support My Photography and Film Project About China and Other Asian Countries

I just got a profile on Patreon so if you like my project and would like to support it, please make a little contribution. For your contribution, I will let you know the progress of my long term photography and film project. I already had four exhibitions about this project, but I want to expand more on this project by shooting more pictures and videos for this project and to get this exhibited all over the world. My goal is to show the positive side of Asia, especially China, and from a different perspective (Asian American eyes). Usually most Western decumentary photographers and filmmakers tend to focus to show the negative side of this region by showing more of the negative side of this place, not its rapid progress into a very modern society. In addition, my goal is to combine documentary and experimental style of photography and film to make something more artistic and more of my own vision of this place. I use a variety of tools in order to do this with different cameras and equipment. To contribute, please go to www.patreon.com/chrisrevon Thanks so much for your support. Even a sharing this website and my Patreon page and like/subscribing to my social media accounts (Instagram and Youtube) can help me on this project.
