Shot Kit Photographer Feature

Was great to be asked to write an article for Mark Condon’s great photography resource… https://shotkit.com/jeremy-park/

here’s a snippet of the article. 

I’m a photographer from Sydney, Australia who’s been shooting for about 20 years. It doesn’t seem like long to me, but I guess it has been – especially considering how gear has changed! My kit bag has gone through about four major evolutionary changes to where it is now.

Firstly, as a young photographer in the 90’s with no money, I started small. A second-hand Mamiya 645, an 80mm f/2.8 lens, Polaroid and film backs and a Quantum off camera flash. That was about the bare minimum I could get away with to shoot portraits for magazines.

Then, as my career grew and kit bags got larger, I switched to a Contax 645. After a few years I dumped that for a Hasselblad 645 with the full range of lenses. I flew to Japan for a weekend shopping spree and bought all the Hassey gear in one go at Bic Camera…I think I made the salesman’s week!

I also moved into Broncolor lighting, purchasing a ring flash (as that look was in demand in the early 2000’s), a few heads and second-hand packs. Shortly after that I added two Broncolor Mobil packs, which really allowed me to get a look with outdoor flash that wasn’t too common at the time. Putting lights in trees and on the beach, always trying to beat the sun!
