Why I stopped chasing gear and started chasing light

I spent two years upgrading cameras and lenses. Then I realised my best photos were taken with my oldest kit in the best light. Light is everything. Understanding it — how it moves, how it wraps, how it changes — is the real skill. Gear is just a tool.

I've learned more from posts like this than from any course I've paid for.

Totally. And make sure your profile photo is professional — it matters more than people think.

Totally agree. I'd add that setting clear expectations upfront saves so much time later.
