Behind the Lens with Tanya Mitchell
This month, we caught up with Tanya Mitchell (@tanyaamitchell) - a gun videographer and photographer based on the Gold Coast.
Tanya's bright, crisp...
This bag is a dream come true! I've been searching for so long for a great camera bag, and this one is both beautiful and actually works on a shoot.
I'm a dog photographer who prefers to photograph natural moments and keep it stress free for the animals, so I don't tend to carry a huge amount of equipment. For me, the Pippa bag can definitely be used on professional shoots!
What you can fit in it depends on how much you tend to carry and how you like to pack your equipment. I can easily fit my Sony camera (with a 135mm gm lens attached), a Godox V1 pro flash, a 35mm lens, and quite a few other bits in the inside pockets. The outside pockets are really useful too - my phone goes in one, and the other I use for things like lens caps and having a lens cleaning cloth to hand.
It's also super easy to access things in the bag quickly/put things away - which was an absolute must have for me. Oh and did I mention it's pretty?! 😁
This bag is everything I needed! I can fit all my gear for any session I go to, including a 24-70 and 70-200 lens with two camera bodies and a flash. I love the design, opening out completely flat is so useful and makes everything so easy to access. It looks awesome and soften over time to feel so nice like real leather, and it's been holding up in rainy weather when I get caught out. Honestly it feels like a bag made by photographers for photographers and without looking like a typical camera bag. I also had an issue with my shipping address (my fault) and they fixed it promptly and without dramas. I definitely recommend!
Such a well made bag - simple, stylish yet oh so practical ... The perfect addition to a photographer's wardrobe.
I was worried that the strap would be too long for my short torso but was absolutely shocked and delighted to find it’s the perfect length when strung across my body for the camera to be on my hip. My Minolta is quite heavy and this instantly made it lighter and manageable. Also, the loops were thin enough to pass through the metal attachments which was a great relief cos I’m not sure leather tabs would have fit. Hoping to get long use from this strap, thank you for making it so sturdy!
i loooove it. so many ppl have complimented it and asked where i got it. and they're always so wowed when i say it's a camera bag hehe. this is the first bad that hasn't given me shoulder pain. i do think it's best for casual photography as it's only room enough for my camera plus lens if i need to bring my other essentials along. i hope they bring back the winne duffel bag cuz i love the style of that! also delivery came within a week and im all the way in asia so i recommend!!
