“So where do you put your clothes…?”

I’ve taken pictures in 26 countries on all seven continents, but the only place I’ve visited regularly is Africa.

This list of what’s in my camera bag is therefore geared towards a safari trip, and it would obviously look a bit different if I were snorkelling in the Galápagos Islands or going white water rafting!
