Q & A - Should I Upgrade My Camera ?

October 12, 2020 in Q&A, The Craft

I get a fair few questions via social media and some time I feel that it is best to answer in a video so the questions and answer can help others rather than jus just the original person asking.

Before we get to the video answer, let me offer a few points of advice.

A Basic Portrait Kit - Off Camera Flash (OCF)

At some point you come across off camera flash (OCF) and get introduced to a world full of cool looking images and behind the scenes images.

You see post after post of multiple light setups with big softboxes, stands and other equipment and then you go shopping.

Hold up. STOP.

A Basic Kit - For Available Light Portrait Photography

October 09, 2020 in Gear, Getting Started, How To

When starting in portrait photography it is all too easy to get sucked in to studio or off camera flash world when really what we need to do is to start simple with natural / available light.

For this we don’t need a ton of kit.

If you have a camera & lens you can get to work and if you want to add a few tools to offer a lot of control you can do so very affordably.
