Bolton Abbey Winter

Recommended Equipment

Yes equipment is important, especially if you are working commercially, but a good camera and brilliant lenses will not make a good image on their own. The best images are made 6 inches behind the viewfinder! That said, you will need to bring a camera on a photography workshop (well I haven’t yet had a client who just came to think (o:)
