REQUIREMENTS
The only thing you need is a camera, we will teach you the rest. What type of camera do I need? All you need is the camera you have, it doesn’t need to be a professional camera, but remember that a camera with manual modes offers greater opportunities. However, the rules of photography and the best ways to work with light are the same for all camera types, including your phone camera. Anyway, phone cameras are equipped with all the necessary manual modes.
