What to Bring When Shooting Abandoned Locations
Kylee LeonettiDescription
When shooting in ruins, it’s important to know what to bring. In this video, pro photographer Kylee Leonetti will show you the ideal gear package. She suggests bringing a backpack and a shoulder bag for versatility. In your location gear bag, you should carry your camera body and a backup. For camera lenses, Kylee favors a medium zoom for variety, an 85mm for flowers, a macro lens for details, and a wide angle for architectural ruins. Because the locations can be dirty, it’s a good idea to bring a lens cloth and lens spray. Shooting in ruins takes planning. Pack only what you’ll need, keep your cameras safe and dry, and bring enough lenses.
