Just as ONA describes the bag, it’s very sleek and versatile. A bag that is small, comfortable, carried just enough equipment for a shoot, and looked good. They designed the Bowery line of bags for photographers looking for something just like I had been for years. ONA is a company that not only understands the need for a stylish camera bag, but they understand that looks only go so far if the bag itself is junk. I didn’t want to give them a reason to question my suggestions and guidance because I dressed like a slob or carried a camera bag that looked like it was cheap or was meant to be taken on a hike in the mountains. Most ask for my opinion on how they should dress, what shoes to wear, what accessories, etc. These clients are not only paying a lot of money for me to take amazing photos of them, but most of them also rely on me helping them look their best. I didn’t like carrying around camera bags on shoots that made my clients think I had no style sense, especially on engagement shoots. Since my interaction with my clients is a big part of my photography business, I realized a few years ago that I wanted to not only look good in front of them, but also look professional.
Finding a bag that could hold enough to make it worth carrying, comfortable, and looked stylish at the same time was a tough task. I tried a number of different bags, some were either too small and didn’t hold enough, some were awkward to carry or uncomfortable, and the ones that did meet those qualifications simply weren’t very good looking. A bag that has always seemed to be difficult for me to find is one that is small enough to carry around with me on shoots that simply does not get in my way.
I have bags that are more robust and made to take on more extreme conditions, bags that are simply for traveling and built to take a beating, and I have bags for when I am just out and about or when I want to look good. Just like my camera gear, I have different bags for different purposes. ONA is a company that designs their bags for the latter, focusing on style as well as versatility, and they do an exceptional job at it. Other photographers that tend to deal with clients and care about the look that they portray, putting emphasis on the styling of their camera bag. Some photographers are strictly interested in durability and how well a bag can protect their gear, no matter what the bag looks like. Personal taste can play a big role in choosing a camera bag, especially when it comes to ONA bags. Writing a bag review can be a lot like writing about your favorite pair of jeans or your favorite pair of dress shoes subjective at best.
