Best gear to get you started on your journey to Advance photography

You’ve gotten to know your equipment and how to use it in manual control by now. It’s now time to upgrade photography gear. As an outcome, you should easily transition from basic to advanced photography talents.

Below is a list of all the necessary starting equipment and gear to advance one’s level and break past the level of a beginner… 

BASIC & ADVANCED LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT

Upgraded Camera (Optional)

It’s a well-known fact that it’s a photographer’s vision, not their gear, that makes an image a masterpiece, but once you’ve mastered the basics, upgrading your camera to a higher level works like a treat.

You’ll get pictures with an advanced photography camera that you won’t get with a normal DSLR. A more modern camera also has greater image quality, which means your photos will be clearer. 

Now, let’s start the real list…

Tripod

With a tripod, you can create perfectly crisp photographs. You can capture exceptionally sharp and detailed photos with good, solid camera support.

You can also get a flawlessly stable video, which will assist draw attention to your work and possibly establish a following.

In short, Tripods are a great place to start because they will make your life easier in the long term.

Upgraded Lens

The lens that comes with most basic cameras is well suited for general use (usually an 18-55mm kit lens for Canon or Nikon). Replacing your stock lens with a fixed 50mm lens. This high-end lens for example makes softening and blurring the background while focusing on your subject a breeze.

Reflector Set

For aiming and reflecting natural light, reflectors are a convenient and straightforward solution. They can effortlessly adjust light and eliminate shadows. To bounce light back onto your subject, use a reflector. Play out with the reflector until it directs lighting to the target place if you’re photographing a group of objects. A set of reflectors can be purchased from a retailer such as Amazon.

Artificial Light like an Umbrella

If you have trouble locating natural light, artificial lights are invaluable. They’re a light modulator that bounces light back on your topic and is forgiving. They diffuse light evenly around the room, minimizing shadows and smoothing out the brightness.

Wireless Remote Shutter

Want to have greater control over your photoshoots? That’s when a wireless remote shutter comes in handy! Place your camera on a tripod and start setting up your scene. While you move things around, keep your camera in position and use the remote shutter to snap your images. When it comes to movement, use a remote shutter to catch it.
