wildlife photographers use it on assignments
the most but anyone can use it – specially

accessories also help you to move around

reducing chances of a backache years later.

Photographers often have to work in
extreme heat or cold and these weatherconditions can take a toll on their health. It
is important to wear lose fitting clothes as
they provide for breathing of the skin in hot
summers and allows one to wear woollen
inners underneath in cold winters. Cargo
pants are best suited for a photographer’s
work which might include a lot of climbing,
jumping, and running around or even
sitting or lying down on streets or trees or
pavements. A good quality cargo pant with
leather lining on the knees is a preferred
choice for most photographers. The leather
knee lining prevents the pant from wear
and tear. There have been debates about
the equally durable jeans pants that were
built for workers who needed a strong
fabric to prevent frequent wear and tear.But the jeans are not too comfortable in
hot summers and can cause skin rashes as
well. Cargo shorts also have more number
of pockets than standard jeans pants which
comes in handy for photographers. Cargo
pants are available with all leading brands
and also online. It is best to invest in a good
quality one instead of going for a cheaper
one which wouldn’t last as long.Fitness trackers and durable
sports watches
With changing times and changing
technology, it has become imperative that
photographers adapt to them quickly. While
photojournalism is gruelling and hard, it is
best to wear a fitness tracker or a smartgearpatrolreddit
