All the Idea, No Gear!

Over the years I have taught many people who you would call “all the gear, no idea” and I’ve seen people spend an absolute fortune on equipment because they think that equipment is going to make their shots better. Knowledge is power and in this tutorial I am going to be using a £150 second hand camera with a standard kit lens (Canon 1200D) and a £20 reflector to show to you that you can still take great pictures with a cheap, basic camera. This video is all the idea and no gear!
