Why Photography Isn’t About the Camera

Is photography really all about the gear? In this video, I share my thoughts on why the fundamentals of photography—like composition and light—matter far more than the latest camera or lens. I’ll explain my own gear choices, including why I prioritise options like dual memory card slots and macro lenses, and why having the best equipment doesn’t make you a better photographer. Plus, I’ll share two key tips that have been a constant focus in my journey: 1️⃣ Mastering composition—because it’s the one thing you can’t fix later. 2️⃣ Falling in love with light—learning how to see it, use it, and shape it to create your own style. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced photographer, this video will help you focus on what really matters. 📸 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments below! #PhotographyTips #Composition #Lighting #PhotographyJourney 00:00 - Welcome, Photography isn’t about the gear 03:00 - Why I genuinely think gear doesn’t matter? 07:16 - Tip 2 = Fall in love with light 10:56 - In Summary 12:42 - Super Tip Stay Connected📸 Follow my journey and see more of my work:🌐 Website:alanhardingphotography.co.uk 📷 Instagram: @alanhardingphotographer Get Involved👉 Like, comment, and subscribe to support my channel and stay updated on my latest projects and adventures.📩 Have questions or want to collaborate?
