The size of the bag is perfect — not too big and definitely not too small. One of my favorite features is its versatility: I can use it as a crossbody bag when things get heavy or as a shoulder bag when I’m just running a quick errand or taking my film to the lab.
For photoshoots, it’s always a lifesaver. Let me tell you, I’m a big packer when it comes to shoots. I use a backpack, but it’s never enough. The tote fills the gap for everything my backpack can’t fit. For example, my backpack holds two Profoto B10s, two chargers, and four battery packs. My wallet, keys, phone, hand sanitizer, and a little snack fit perfectly in the tote — and it even has room for my umbrella’s diffuser! It’s the perfect size and doesn’t feel too heavy. When it’s packed like that, I use the crossbody strap for extra shoulder support, especially since I’m also carrying my backpack. I feel extra secure knowing the tote’s weather-resistant material protects my expensive, non-waterproof gear.
For bigger shoots, the tote really shines. Not only do I need my backpack, but also umbrellas, light stands, and equipment packed in my Pelican case. It’s a lot to bring to set — I know — but hey, that’s the life of a photographer sometimes. The question is: where do I pack my laptop and all my tech? That’s where the Everything Tote Bag comes in handy. It fits perfectly on top of my Pelican case, and I can loop the shoulder straps over the handle for easy transport. It makes moving around so much easier, sparing me from carrying yet another bag on my shoulder.
What do I pack on those bigger shoot days? Usually, my Profotos go in the Pelican case, while the Everything Tote Bag carries all my tech: my laptop, monitor, tech pouches, tether cables, battery chargers, SD cards, and card readers. Everything fits perfectly, with room to spare for extras I might need. Again, this is why having a weather-resistant tote is such a game-changer — I don’t have to worry about my electronics getting damaged.
And let’s face it, if you’re an on-set photographer, you know how it goes. Sometimes, we work with people who leave their waters or coffees just a little too close to our gear. With this tote, you don’t have to worry. Trust me, it’s got you covered.
Of course, I’m still a human being and have a life outside of photography —duh. I’ve got to take my film to the lab, run errands, and maybe grab some Hot Cheetos. Why? Because after dropping off my film, I get hungry and need a snack. Thankfully, my tote makes it all so much easier. It has so many pockets, keeping my film separate from receipts, snacks, and even a slot for my water bottle. Did I mention it has two water bottle slots??
You don’t have to store two bottles like I do, but I get thirsty walking around and checking things off my to-do list. And, of course, there’s plenty of room for anything else I might pick up along the way. What if I make a little detour to a thrift store? I can slip any new purchases into my tote without needing another bag. Because let’s be real — who wants to carry more bags? No one.
And while I’m running errands, my tote has just the right amount of space for my Pentax 17 half-frame camera, ready and waiting for those spontaneous moments.
I do my absolute best to convince my photographer friends — who also happen to have regular human lives outside of photography — to grab this tote. Not because I’m an enabler whenever they want to splurge (okay, maybe just a little), but because this bag is perfect for literally everything. I mean, it’s called the everything tote bag for a reason — it truly lives up to the name.
