Photography Equipment

All the gear no idea? My policy is before spending a penny on the ‘latest and greatest’ photography equipment, you need to know how to get the best out of the camera and accessories you already have.

Here in this section, I have put together instructional articles to help you learn things such as how to choose the best digital camera, flash equipment, or equipment for portrait photography, etc and most importantly how to use them!

Make sure you get the best out of your photography equipment with our guides including:

  • How to choose the best digital camera
  • Mirrorless vs Full Frame - How to Decide
  • Ultimate Guide to Macro Photography
  • Flash techniques for better portrait photography
  • Tips for Buying a Tripod
  • How to Choose the Right Lens

In this Photography Equipment section, you will find everything you need to know before investing in a new camera.

Can’t decide between mirrorless and full frame? Or maybe you aren’t sure the best flash to invest in for portrait photography.

My extensive guides and tutorials will help demystify your equipment, while reviews can be found in their own section.
