accessories | A Photog's Needs.

As some of you may know I am an avid photographer and I cannot leave my house without my SLR especially when I go traveling. I think when I go traveling I am more concerned of which cameras I need to bring then secondly, what I'll be wearing. But lately, I've been really lazy lugging around my backpack full of my gear so I'm on a hunt to find a fashionable camera bag. Something that doesn't look like a camera bag from the outside and something that fits my daily life. And I've also come to realised after traveling for the past 2 years and lugging my camera bag, I barely use any of my other cameras I bring because I usually 1. leave the backpack in the hotel room and 2. I get lazy lugging my cameras in my everyday bag.

And so the hunt begins....
Last year, I finally saw the bag perfect for me and it's all stylish. I was about to order it but it's on back order. Now it's all about the waiting game...

Wondering what bag caught my eye?

It's ONA, the brainchild of Tracy Foster, who is also a photographer. So, it just only makes sense that she would create something stylish yet practical bags for photographers alike. I especially love the meaning behind ONA, derived from Swahili, it means “to feel,” “to believe,” and “to experience with the eyes.” This name captures the essence of photography and style. 

So now back to THE BAG... *drum roll* please: The Brooklyn satchel in Chestnut. I absolutely love how it is an old school inspired bag. That's probably the reason why I love it. The bag has a character and I love the colour.

Look how much it can fit: 2 lenses, 1 flash and the camera itself. Completely love it.
