Gear, Software & Other Products Guide

Upload from March 29, 2012

 

A photographer needs a camera. But which one will work best for what you hope to achieve? And how about all of those software and app options that will help take your photos to the next level, and keep your business organized and efficient. And then there are the scanners, printers and photobooks that’ll take your photos off the screen and put them into the hands of you and your clients. Across the board, there are an overwhelming number of options. Finding the right ones can make your head spin!

Well, the good news is that the tools don’t matter nearly as much as the photographer. What really makes for great photos is you! But you still need some equipment to get you there, so check out these articles to help make gear, software and printing decisions a little simpler!
