The main event — here are some of my most prized possessions, my cameras!

My baby. A smart camera for an amateur camera user like me. It has all the convenient features like autofocus, scene intelligent mode, facial recognition, and touchscreen while also offering a plethora more of manual options to explore its photograph...

Instax! Always so fun to bring around when I'm hanging out with friends, attending parties, and other special occasions. I have this model in teal, and I got it because of its selfie mirror feature! Helpful if you need a little help framing your shot...

A pocket-sized camera with a built-in gimbal that I love using for adventure-perspective shots, like during my hiking vlog in Masungi! At the push of a button, you can redirect the camera to face either selfie-mode or away from the user for seamless ...

The standard lens for my canon m50 that has served me well! Small enough to complement the camera's petite dslr-type frame.

I have two of these for convenience and they last me all throughout long days! Don't have to worry too much about saving my camera's battery since I can always keep the other in my bag (or charge one while still using the other in time for a replacem...

Bare necessity! Lights up orange when battery isn't fully charged, and lights up green when it is!

I lost my camera's original hot shoe cover, so I'm leaving this for you in case you need it too!

Great to use for sit-down videos or other content where the camera direction doesn't change rapidly or a lot. (This is because the microphone only picks up the audio facing it!) The deadcat it comes with helps with noise filtering, especially in wind...

A budget-friendly dupe from the orange app of my Rode mic + deadcat and other accessories.

This case makes my camera convenient to bring around because of the strap it comes with, plus it protects my camera and its lens.

Storage

Documenting every moment, big and small, can start to bulk up after a while. (Or in my case, after a few days). Here's what I use to help with that!

My (and my dad's) most trusted brand of hard drives! We use the desktop drives to back up our files (iPhone pics for example) and store big projects (like my YouTube videos!). Storage like this helps our desktop computer run smoother as it lessens th...

My (and my dad's) most trusted brand of hard drives! We use the portable drives to store our movie files (easy to move around depending on which device we want to watch on), and for smaller size projects. I like to use these when I need to have my fi...

Not the exact album I have, but I found this one that's pretty similar proportions-wise. Great for protecting my photos and keeping them organized in one place when I don't have them up on my wall. I love flipping through the book every now and then,...

The mermaid tale kind is iridescent and shines like scales. I scanned my photos which is why the colors are muted, but in person they're really shiny with cool tones!

THE PRETTIEST FILM IVE FOUND THUS FAR. It just enhanced all the pics I took with it and made them even more special. Love the sparkle and the different colors.
