However, a kit lens (18-55/3.5 or 4.0) will also work.
• For photographing barber portraits, consider bringing a prime telephoto lens of 85mm.
• If you bring a good quality bridge camera instead of a DSLR or mirrorless camera, it will be best if it has an optical zoom of 18-20x or more, combined with a reasonable wide-angle at the other end of the zoom range.
• Protector for your lens.
• Power Bank & Electric Socket Extension.
• Adequate memory card.
• Be sure to bring plenty of spare battery power for your camera and external hard drive with adequate space and a card reader.
