As a photographer who travels extensively, I’ve spent years hunting for the perfect camera bags for every situation. After all, choosing the right bag is more than just about storage; it’s about comfort, protection, and making your photography journey a whole lot easier.

In my YouTube video above, I break down my absolute favourite camera bags for different scenarios. Whether you're a beginner photographer or a full-time globetrotter, the right bag can make or break your workflow. Here’s a quick summary of my top picks:

My Daily Carry: The Perfect Everyday Camera Bag

For day-to-day use, you need something compact yet spacious enough to fit all your essentials. Whether I'm out exploring local spots or riding around Bali with the scooter, I rely on a lightweight yet durable bag that still fits a lot of my camera, and a few personal items.

This is the bag I trust for my everyday adventures. It’s also very discreet and it doesn’t look like a camera bag which is perfect as a solo traveller to don’t grab unwanted attention!

The Ultimate Travel Companion: My Favorite Carry-On Bag

When travelling by plane, I never check in my camera gear, it’s way too valuable!

Travelling with photography gear can be nerve-wracking, but my trusted carry-on bag has made it a breeze. It holds all my essential gear perfectly, meets TSA requirements, and fits seamlessly into the overhead compartment. No more worrying about last-minute luggage shuffles or risking damage to my equipment! It’s been my ultimate travel companion, keeping everything safe and stress-free on every trip.

This is also the bag I reach for when I'm working on bigger projects or heading to remote locations where I can’t afford to leave anything behind.

A Stylish Handbag for Light Shoots

Sometimes you don’t need to carry much. Just a camera and maybe a lens or two. For those light, casual shoots, I use a chic yet functional handbag that doesn’t scream "camera bag" but still keeps my gear safe. It’s perfect for blending in while staying practical.

I use this tote bag almost everyday as it also fits a 16’’ laptop and it’s very spacious to carry some personal items too. But to keep your gear safe, you’ll need a camera insert that fits perfectly inside. The combination of these two is perfect!

Why the Right Camera Bag Matters

Finding the right camera bag isn’t just about convenience, it’s about protecting your gear, ensuring comfort during long shoots, your travels, and making sure you’re always ready to capture the moment.

After 15 years in photography, I’ve tested countless options, and the ones I’ve shared in the video are truly the best of the best for my personal needs. This means that your needs may be totally different to mine, reason why you should always think about it from your own perspective.

If you watch the video, you’ll learn way more about the right way to choose a camera bag as I dive into the features, pros, cons, and why I swear by each one. I also give you some extra tips!
