Tatiana Kukanova’s Photography Tips on Camera Equipment


Nowadays, professional photographers like me, Tatiana Kukanova, always share photographs online. But sadly, because of this, many people who are beginners in photography have the impression that the more equipment photographers have, and the more expensive they are, the better your pictures will be. Of course, some pieces of camera gear are necessary, but it does not necessarily mean that you should hoard equipment to be able to produce good photographs. Here, I will quickly discuss the most necessary camera equipment you will need.

This is: Tatiana Kukanova’s Camera Equipment Tips:

Camera

Needless to say, every photographer needs cameras.  For beginners, I suggest that you start with an entry-level DSLR or mirrorless camera.  These are good cameras for beginners and advanced photographers alike, yet they are easy to use.

Lens

Along with your camera, the most vital equipment in photography is the lens. If you are a beginner, I advise you to get the inexpensive kit lens that zoom which offers versatility and are of good quality.

Memory Card

A memory card stores your photos and lets you transfer them to your computer. I advise that you get a memory card that is at least 32 GB, so you won’t have to worry about deleting good pictures just for the sake of your storage capacity.

Tripod

The value of tripods to a photographer depends on the type of photography they do. Personally, I rarely use my tripod since I shoot nature and wildlife, which rarely requires the use of one. But if you would like to own a tripod, I would advise you to find something you think you would like to own and read some reviews about it before you buy, since all tripods have compromises.

Flash

A flash is important if you want to shoot in dark environments or if you want to brighten the dark shadows in your picture. Most of the cameras nowadays already have pop-up flashes, but if you’d like to buy one, I suggest that you buy a flash that can work even if it’s not attached to your camera.

After all of the things I’ve discussed, remember that the number of your camera equipment does not define the quality of your photographs.
