"Today we're talking a little bit about shooting in a more remote area and some of the considerations for that. We're here on Roosevelt Island. You can see Manhattan and the UN in the background. We chose this location because it's very scenic. We've got a great backdrop, the city. We've got an old set of ruins here off to our right that we'll be using as the backdrop for this photography. When you're shooting in a remote location you want to make sure that you, A, have all the gear to get the shot, but B, don't have so much that you're carrying a lot of equipment. If you don't have five assistants and so forth, you really want your equipment to be man portable. For example, what I've got here is a think tank system. It's just a belt. You can carry a long lens, some extra gear, a flash, I've got my camera, and as well I've got a backpack with an extra camera, some extra lenses, a light stand, a couple of strobes, so with this kind of equipment I can carry it all on my person. It's not that heavy, but I've got everything that I need to go to a remote location. I've got camera bodies, lenses, an extra body, a stand for flash, I've got two flashes, I've got everything I need to get the photo that I want in a remote location."
