Travel Photographer’s Toolkit: Must Have Gear

So you love to travel. You’ve immersed yourself in unbelievable sights. How do you take these serene views home with you? Travel and adventure photographer, Edward Tomasso recommends the gear you need to make your memories last a lifetime!


Since setting out on his quest to see the world in all its glory, young world traveler, Edward Tomasso has made it his mission to perfect his photography. In his artistic view, the best way to memorialize a unique travel trip isn’t to steal an artifact or stock up on fliers. Instead, with camera in hand, Tomasso captures his own tourism trophies in the form of photos. But you don’t have to be an expert to join in on the fun! With the right gear, you’ll be in the clear to get started on your own adventure photography exploits!

First things first: the camera

Edward Tomasso
In the photography game, there are nearly as many cameras to choose from as there are stars in the sky! When starting out, Edward Tomasso recommends that you keep things simple. Rather than reaching for the latest DSLR or mirrorless system, start small with a simple point-and-shoot. A great option for beginners is the Canon G7X, a pocket-sized powerhouse with all the bells and whistles you need to be on your way!

Extra batteries are a must-have for every travel photographer -- from amateur to refined pro. Chances are, you won’t be able to find an outlet while out and about. So don’t count on your battery lasting forever! Tomasso recommends that you keep at least three batteries on you at all times (one in the camera and two fully charged and at the ready).

Edward TomassoBalance: A Trusty Tripod

Always be sure to pack a reliable tripod with your kit. You may not have a million and one opportunities to use it. But when you have the chance, whipping out your tripod will truly make all the difference! Manfrotto has a little something for everyone; Tomasso suggests that you select a tripod intended for video -- even if you’ll only be shooting photos. Tripods built with video in mind are often more fluid, making for clean shots.

With your toolkit in hand, what are you waiting for? Get out there and start collecting your souvenir shots! They say a picture’s worth a thousand words. Give your friends and family something to talk about when you return from your incredible tourism adventures!
