How much should photographers drink during a 6-hour outdoor shoot?

At least 2–3 liters split across water and electrolytes. Small, frequent sips (every 20–30 minutes) prevent fatigue and blurry focus.

Can plain water replace electrolytes in UAE heat?

No. Water quenches thirst but doesn’t restore sodium, potassium, and magnesium lost through sweat. Electrolytes sustain focus and stamina.

Use compact 4.5 g sachets that fit in lens pouches or side pockets. They’re lightweight, mess-free, and travel-approved.

No. They’re taken separately with water, so your coffee rituals stay intact while hydration supports your energy balance.
