My Photography Gear & Guide for equipment investment in 2020

I'm frequently asked what is the best camera for photography or which equipment I use and how do I create my image? This is actually two of the most common questions I've always being asked along the way and as I would love to answer every single one which is impossible doing it one by one, so I decided to create this post to share the photography gear, software I use, also the books and online training I've bought to became the photographer I'm today.

I'm a Nikon guy but that is not because is the best camera brand out there, it's only because was the brand I've started and I decided to stick with it because I loved and invested a lot of money on it. Don't worry if you are a Canon, Fuji and Sony shooter, I thought about you too and I will recommend equivalent gear in pair with what I use from Nikon, ok.

Everybody knows that photography equipment is not cheap and it's extremely hard to decide which one to go for, we always have thousands of doubts about many things such as quality, durability, sharpness, low light capability, focus speed, accuracy, etc... not counting the amount of accessories options we have available today. I personally have spent over €60.000 in photography stuff, so to help you make your final decision without spending that amount of money, I created this article as a guide for beginners that are starting out and also for professionals that are planning to upgrade gear or switch brand. Here you will find the best photography equipment I end up using after 7 years of career.

Since I started my photography career back in 2011 I've spent thousands and thousands of Euros in photographic equipment, accessories, courses, books, software, etc... and many of them I didn't like, haven't used much or haven't used at all, it was a waste of time researching on the internet and a lot of money spent for no reason. Following my advice, you will save time, money and won't be frustrated and disappointed as I was many times. Along the article, I will also unveil the books, courses, software, apps, and suppliers I use and highly recommend.

Another frequent question I receive is. Where do I buy my equipment? The answer is simple AMAZON! But Bruno, do amazon give any warranty? Yes, they certainly do! If any item you buy from Amazon is damaged or you don't like it, they have a refund policy of 30 days, although I only needed to used once and I have to say they were super fast. Amazon is one of the cheapest and most reliable options you will find out there. I Usually save from 20 to 35% compared with a physical store.

Many photographers don't like to share their equipment (gear) secrets and courses they have done, so I'm here to help you with that, as I wish I've had someone to help me along my journey which would have made much easier. You will probably need to come back here to see some information again so I would recommend you to bookmark (save) this page so you can have quick access at any time you may need in the future. I will keep updating this page as soon as I update my gear, so keep  ;)

As it is a lot of information, I've split into categories to make it easier for you, ok.
