USE THE GEAR YOU HAVE

“It’s not the most expensive or best gear that makes a good photo.

Think about what’s possible with the gear you have in front of you. Any way, who you shoot with and of what you shoot are way more important!”

– Lukas Riedl

If you are anything like me, then you are constantly looking for another piece of photography gear to add to your camera bag. Lukas shared this insight with me and it changed my way of thinking.

I was under the impression that the missing piece is the reason why my shot isn’t as good as it could be. Now I just go out there, shoot and get creative. Perhaps this resonates with you as well.

Happy shooting,

Carl
