Being a professional photographer in the digital age

Making a living out of professional photography in the digital age is not always what you might expect. Perhaps this assertion can be rephrased by replacing photography with any other profession/skillset in the age of Internet and social media.

My Gear

Although I believe that gear isn’t the most important thing a photographer needs, I realize that having good gear is essential for boosting the moral for any photographer. It can inspire in some ways, it can make it more fun at times when things aren’t going your way and it can make it more effective and time efficient if you can get things right in-camera instead of correcting it in post-production.

For a full overview of my gear click here.
