TIPS & TIPS & TECHSTECHS
P
hotography is an interesting and wide
subject that encompasses travelling,
technical knowhow and a lot of courage
and persistence. There is a saying “Dress for
the job you want, not for the job you have”,
which goes on to prove how important dressing
right for a job is. Just like any other job a
photographer’s wearable somewhat influences
his efficiency on field. In this article we take an
in-depth look at the various options available in
the market for photographers to wear on their
assignments and discuss the pros and cons of the
same.
There are certain factors that one has to
keep in mind to understand which dresses are
appropriate for the occasion. The assignment,
the clients, the weather and safety are some of
the most important things to keep in mind. All
these factors influence the dressing choice of the
photographer on the field. As the photography
industry is booming, more and more clothing
options are being made available for the
photographers, and it might be overwhelming at
times to select what is best for which occasion.
Here are some of the best and most popular
options available:Photographer’s jacket
This is the most widely used clothing item
amongst photographers, and the handiest piece
of investment for them. It is a simple sleeveless
jacket with usually six pockets in front, three
on each side, and one large pocket at the back.
There can be more varieties of this available with
more or less pockets, depending on what the
user feels comfortable. The cloth used is usually
thick cotton or mixed fabric, but it can also be
made from parachute fabric as it is lighter and
durable. The pockets are of different sizes and
can hold anything from lens, lens caps, lens filters,
memory cards, batteries, external flash, mobile
phones or walky-talkies. The bigger pocket at
the back can hold a netbook or ipad easily andPhotographer’s
