March 14, 2014

Photographer and Video Producer Taylen Anderson is traveling to Honduras for a 9-day documentary shoot at an orphanage. The shoot requires a lot of come & go and flexibility to move from one location to the next quickly. 

Below he shares his full documentary gear package, piece by piece. He's traveling with a hard case to protect his lenses/camera gear from the hustle and bustle of air travel. And then once he's on the ground in Honduras, everything will get transferred to the backpack for easy access & transport.
