Celebrity Photographer Clifton Prescod Shares 5 Photography Must-haves!

New York City-based photographer Clifton Prescod is best known for his celebrity photography that is breaking through the entertainment industry one project at a time. Prescod has become a familiar name in the industry with a client list that includes Netlfix, Peacock, NBC/Universal, and more. He has also worked with such celebrities as Nick Cannon, Kanye West, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, and Wanda Sykes, to name a few. As he continues to grow, he has discovered five main products that he uses and recommends for every photographer. Check them out below.

1. The Sony A1

It’s the best performing mirrorless on the market. Great for in-studio and shooting on location whether on a feature film or shooting fast-action sports. This 50 MP, 8k quality camera that shoots 30 frames per second is a MONSTER. Any professional or extreme photography enthusiast will not be disappointed with this camera. I trust and use this camera on all my Key Art movie poster shoots.

2. BLACK RAPID Double Breathe Harness for Camera

I personally carry two camera bodies on sets and I need to feel safe that my cameras are secured, and easily accessible. Black Rapid offers a super lightweight, breathable harness to meet the demands of the job any photographer works on.

3. Profoto B10+ off camera flash

It’s a portable strobe flash unit suitable for in and out of the studio. It also has the ability to act as a constant light and be used for video work. And you can change the color temperature of the light to work with any environment.

4. Samsung T7 SSD (hard drive)

When you need reliability and SPEED regarding saving and accessing assets, this super compact and lightweight solid state drive is the ONE to use. No more waiting hours for file transfers that can take minutes to finish with the Samsung T7.

5. Sony 24-70 G Master Lens

If you only have money for one lens, I’d suggest this lens because it’s very versatile, super fast and extremely sharp.
