Some of the questions I get asked the most are “what do you shoot with?” “what’s your favorite lens?” “do you have any suggestions for a good camera for someone starting out?” so I figured it’s about time I lay it all out for you.
While it’s great to know what’s out there, and quality gear is important, just because you like someone’s work, doesn’t mean you need to be shooting with the exact same gear. Or that it’s the camera that got them those results. If you have the creative eye and camera knowledge, you could be crushing it with a point and shoot, while someone with no experience could be taking poor photos with a top of the line camera! If you handed me the best paintbrush on the market, I wouldn’t be able to paint you a masterpiece. So keep that in mind when thinking about gear – they are just tools, not the solution!
