THE G.O.A.T CAMERAS THAT INSPIRED GENERATIONS
The eternal question in photography circles: “Does gear matter?” Does the camera you use really change the outcome? Will it make you a better photographer? Will it magically elevate your work to the next level?
For me, the short answer is: yes — but with nuance.
What you use matters in the sense that you need to want to use it. That’s the key. I should also clarify: I’m coming at this from the perspective of a hobbyist. I don’t get paid to take photos; in fact, I pay to take photos. That makes my relationship with gear very different to someone shooting for clients or billboards.
