Does brand really matter?

radi9red · 21st June 2006

hmm brands doesnt matter , but the "price" of the equipment seems to matter. Traditionally your clients "size" you from your gears first and the photos later ..
thats the hard fact of being a commercial photgrapher .. must keep up with the "gears"

I don't really think the 'traditional type of customers' judge photographers by their gear.

More oft, I get a case whereby yuppies, who are probably once photography enthusiasts themselves immediately jumping on equipment talk instead of photo talk.

not really .. on the actual day, it seems they're looking at your gears since they can't see the photos you've taken yet ..

If gears arent that significant, try turning up in a sucidal act of a 3 megapixel PS camera.
and tell them to say "cheese" when you're snapping
They might ask you for a refund .. hahahahh
