What Camera Equipment Do I Need?
Photography requires only a simple camera, however the techniques that I teach will benefit those who want to learn to use a camera that allows the photographer to adjust modes such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. This will include:
- All DSLRs
- Micro four third cameras
- Mirrorless cameras
- Most other cameras allow this functionality too.
If unsure get in touch and I'll be happy to advise. A tripod and flash would be useful but not essential as we can share and I have spares.
