Some Food for the Mind – Photography

I am just amazed when people think that if they had a top of the line photo equipment  that alone will automatically makes them a better photographer. In my 10 year career a photographer I went through all kinds of cameras be it a top of the line one or a basic SLR and what I came to understand is that not always what’s new is necessarily better then the model it is replacing.

I came across one article not too long ago about this famous photographer that utilizes his $250 point and shoot camera throughout his busy wedding day and the results are nothing short of amazing.

To me photography is like arts, this is how I see it, before I even press that button on the camera I already saw what to go for and from what angle, cropping and so on. I love to work with clients in a very natural approach yet creating something interesting worth looking at.

We live in a digital world today and programs like Photoshop if one knows how to work with the possibilities are endless. You are only limited by your imagination. Even with a point & shoot cameras one can create something very unique.

Of course everything takes time and one can’t just become a genius overnight.

As long as one willing to learn and gets the best out of what is at hand, a path to success is guaranteed.

My advise to all young photographers visiting my site is this, whatever camera you may have use it to the utmost and do not get an upgrade until you outgrow what you already have. In other words if the camera you have is limiting you in obtaining the images you go after that is when you know it is time to step up to a new equipment.
