I had recently had the pleasure of meeting landscape and outdoor photographer, Bret Edge. Bret lives in Moab, Utah, where he guides people in the local mountains, on the slickrock and in the plentiful slot canyons. He has a fine art landscape gallery in downtown Moab and does photography workshops as well. I thought he’d be a great subject for our first real “What’s In Your Camera Bag” video, since he’s an established photographer who works in one of the most dramatic and challenging environments in the world and has to consider survival as well as what camera gear to carry. To make this video, Bret picked me up before dawn and we made the 45-minute drive from Moab to Dead Horse Point, where I filmed him in action and then had him show us what he carries in his F-Stop Tilopa BC camera pack when he’s out in the field.
Besides being an experienced outdoor adventurer and a great photographer, Bret is a super nice guy. I recommend you follow him on Twitter (@bretedgephoto) and Like him on Facebook Bret Edge Photography). And if you’re ever in Moab, definitely stop by his Edge Gallery to say hi and see his photography in person.

Nice video…thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Adam! Glad you liked it! I look forward to making lots more
Great little video. I think a lot of people will enjoy this and Bret does a good job explaining his equipment.
Glad you enjoyed the video, Erik. I need to make more of these. When they’re done right, I think they give a lot of insight into how a photographer thinks and works. That’s the idea, anyway
