OF COURSE CAMERA GEAR MATTERS

Описание: OF COURSE CAMERA GEAR MATTERS

I often get placed in the 'Gear Doesn't Matter' group, but I think the truth is more nuanced than that.

My favourite walkaround camera of the moment is my Leica Q2. I really love this camera. But often if someone shoots on a Leica, they get labelled a poser or a hipster. But Cartier-Bresson shot on a Leica. Was he just a poser? Robert Capa shot on a Leica. Joel Meyerowitz, Fred Herzog and many other well respected photographers.

When Cartier-Bresson caught that ‘decisive moment’, his gear mattered. And it’s not because of high-resolution images or great dynamic range or super sharp motion capture. It’s because he was comfortable with his camera. And this is why gear matters.

By far the biggest determining factor in making either good and bad images is the photographer.

You will take your best images with the camera you enjoy using the most. The idea that the ergonomics and aesthetics of a camera don’t matter, and it’s just for hipsters etc. is shortsighted and untrue. A camera that makes you want to pick it up and use it, is a camera that will make you take more photos with it. And a camera that makes you take more photos is a camera that gives you more practise both using the camera and making images. There’s no better way to learn that actually practising something.
