As a professional photographer, there is one question I am asked more than any other. And it has nothing to do with my pricing or my availability or how I approach a scene as an artist.

Instead, the question I am asked more than any other is this: “What camera should I buy?”

Now, some photographers might get a little prickly about this question. Because many of us are businesspeople as well as artists. Should we really be educating our potential competition?! 

And we can feel a little offended. Because we know that it isn’t the camera that takes a great photo, it’s the person behind the camera. 

But here’s the thing. I am pretty confident in my artistry and am confident enough to give my gear the credit it’s due. I have curated an amazing line-up of cameras and lenses over the years and they allow me to capture the scenes in front of me just as I want to remember them.
