People expect all shorts of different things from a photographer. I recently heard a lady complain that her photographer turned up and took photos of her family and all he brought with him was a camera…. nothing else. While her friend had another photographer who turned up with a car load of photographic equipment. She felt ripped off.
Truth is it doesn’t really matter how much equipment the photographer brings to a job, providing of course he has all the gear necessary to get the pictures required. And some times you need a whole bunch of equipment to do what looks like a simple job. I’m just as happy shooting with just one camera and one lens, with nothing else because that allows me to concentrate 100% on my subject. It all comes down to the photographers ability to see the picture. communicate with his or her subject and capture that special moment. Sometimes of course you can’t take a picture without all that extra gear hanging around. But at days end, the final result comes down to just one thing…. the photographers ability to SEE.
