Buy Used Camera Gear

Buy Used

I know you see your favorite photographers online with the latest lenses and most expensive camera body and you begin to think that is what you need to be a successful photographer. It’s not! You don’t NEED a Canon R1, 3, or 5 with any L series lens. You NEED to know how to market so you book consistently. You NEED to know you CRM and editing programs front and back. You NEED to know how to pose. If you are starting out, I recommend you buy used. Once you book consistently, the new equipment will pay for itself.

True beginners, don’t spend your money on either columns. Get a base prosumer (pro consumer) camera like a Canon Rebel and learn your camera for under $500. With the money you are saving, go to CREATIVE LIVE and learn posing, Photoshop, Lightroom, and marketing. Then go to SproutStudio so you can start taking clients. It’s a lot at first, but the more you do it, the better you will get. Happy shooting.
