Resources for your photography business | The Photographer's Dream House

Lighting
2 X Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash
Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash
Phottix Strato II Wireless 5 in 1 Trigger Set for Canon – I used to have Pocketwizards, but they worked very inconsistently for me. These were significantly cheaper and way more reliable! I highly recommend them for your off-camera lighting set-up.

Processing and Blogging Software
Adobe Lightroom 5 – I do about 90% of my edits with this program.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 – This is where I do the other 10% of my edits. 🙂 I have it linked to Photoshop CS5, since I couldn’t find the CS4 product.
Photo Mechanic
 – This tool has completely changed my workflow by cutting my culling time in half. I highly, highly recommend trying this software out!
BlogStomp – A great tool for getting your photos organized and sized for blogging.

Extra Equipment
iMac, iPad, iPhone, and a Macbook (yeah, I’m definitely a Mac!)
Lexar Professional 400X 8GB UMDA CompactFlash
SanDisk Extreme 8GB CompactFlash
Lexar Dual Slot USB 3.0 Card Reader
Fotodiox 5-in-1-Oval Reflector – This reflector is fantastic! It’s very large, but also portable.
