Gear

As a Nikon Professional Services (N.P.S.) member I use only Nikon cameras and lenses for all my photography needs. In December 2021 I sold all my Nikon DSLR gear and have gone completely Nikon Mirrorless.

Nikon Z9 Mirrorless camera bodies with Kirk Photo Products BL-Z9V2 L-Brackets (Qty 2).
When out shooting for my travel photography work, I usually carry one Z9 body with the Nikon 24-120mm F/4 S lens on it. The Nikon 24-120mm F/4 S is a great all-in-one lens for travel photography. I keep the other Z9 as a backup camera most of the time. Depending on the shoot, I will take it with the Nikon 14-30mm F/4 lens. In my opinion, the Nikon Z9 is the best and most versatile camera Nikon has ever produced!

Other Equipment

When traveling, I take my Dell Latitude 7290 12.5" Laptop with 500GB hard drive, 16GB memory, Windows 10 Professional, Lightroom Classic, Adobe Photoshop 2025, Topaz Photo, DxO Nik Collection, Luminar Neo, Breeze Systems Breeze Downloader Pro and BreezeBrowser Pro. I backup all my photos with a couple of small external hard drives.
When I get back to my office I transfer all my photos to my Dell XPS-8940 desktop with Windows 11 Professional with 64GB RAM and 8TB hard drive, Adobe Lightroom Classic, Adobe Photoshop, Topaz Photo, DxO Nik Collection, Luminar Neo, Breeze Systems BreezeBrowser Pro and DownLoader Pro. For my monitor I use a NEC PA271W 27". I again cull my photos again using BreezeBrowser Pro and then send them to my external Western Digital 18TB external hard and then import them into Lightroom Classic for final editing. Of course, I have all my photos and data backed up to 3 different hard drives stored in various off-site locations.
Other miscellaneous items and info.

Manfrotto 3444 Carbon Fiber tripod with Kirk Enterprises BH-1 ball head.
Benro TRCP-069 Travel Angel Carbon Fiber tripod. (nice for traveling light.)
Platypod Ultra Camera support with ball head/quick release.
Gitzo G1566 Monopod with Kirk Photo QRC-2.6EK quick release clamp
Kase Armour master kit 100mm filter system.
Lens cleaning cloth, flashlight, gaffers tape, extra batteries.
I also try to take as much of my camera gear as I possibly can as carry-on. With all the new carry-on restrictions, it's getting very difficult for photographers.
If necessary, I will put some of my things in checked luggage such as tripod, reflectors, and filters.
I wear a Domke photo vest when traveling; it's a great way to store things such as small flash, cleaning cloth and of course airline tickets and passport.
