7 Essentials That Every Photographer Should Look Out for and Have
Let’s face it, there is truly an oversaturation of photography when it comes to the world today. Pretty much anyone and everyone out there is picking up a camera and claiming to be a photographer.

Photographers can take as narrow a view of things as some lens do. It's a common sight to see in photography groups on social media of someone posting an image and then saying "only a phone camera shot" like it's an excuse for any perceived faults with the shot.
