Hed: Let This Pro Photographer Help You Pack For Your Holiday Travel When your job involves frequent travel, you become a travel pro without even realizing it. Know-how is only part of the equation, what you pack is just as critical – the essential gear we travel with can boost well-being, calm and relaxation in some genuinely stressful situations. Matt Sayles is a Los Angeles-based portrait and commercial photographer whose work takes him all over the world. When he’s not photographing icons such as Kamala Harris, Prince Harry and Beyoncé or capturing moments at events like the Academy Awards and the Emmys, chances are he’s waiting in the TSA PreCheck line or heading to his hotel before an early morning call time.
As a father, Sayles has adapted his jet-set hacks to family travel too (bottom line: when traveling with family, "it’s a lot easier to enjoy the moment"). Sayles' favorite part of traveling? “Exploring new places, foods, cultures and the opportunity to learn how other people live,” he says. So we asked Matt to share his in-flight essentials and show us what he packs in his bag for holiday travel.
As for this shaver? “Nothing more important than my Braun Series 9 Pro,” he says. “To make sure I look good when I'm traveling.”
