Photography as a passion comes with its challenges, You need to have what it takes to start up and when there is business look to it then you need to go all the way. To get the right equipments to make your images look more professional.
For a starter,A Dslr camera is needed NOT A COMPACT CAMERA OR A POINT AND SHOOT CAMERA. There are wide varieties of CANON and NIKON Dslr cameras. I love Canon camera and the debate of which is better between a Canon and a Nikon is for another day.
Going through college with a Canon EOS60D was the best choice i could make.
Okay basis : 1. A Dslr Camera 2 .Atleast two lens preferably a wide angle&a Prime lens 3. A flash 4. A Tripod 5. Camera remote trigger and ofcourse 6. A camera bag.
