I get a lot of emails, and we got asked a lot when teaching classes at the College, about our gear. I always felt like I was somehow misleading people though, because its not always about the gear. It doesn’t allways take thousands of dollars of gear to take a great photograph. My case and point for saying this is a story about fishing. My family regularly goes fishing to Wyoming. The best gear is not a prerequisite for fishing. Its a nice thing to have. It may help you land the fish faster. It may help you with precision casting. Its a nice thing to have, and makes your life easier. You can catch fish with cheap gear. The same is true with photography gear. With experience and knowledge of light and how a camera operates, you can make beautiful images with just about any camera. Here are some images from a recent gallery show made with a 30.00 dollar holga camera, which I think are pretty cool. Any camera even pinhole camera’s can take beautiful images. A camera is just a box with a hole that lets light in. It can be made out of a dixie cup, and get images that can inspire.
I wanted to share this video I ran into which shows a fashion shoot done with an Iphone. The video is both funny and entertaining. You can see the finished images at Fstoppers
