Have you often wondered about getting into photography, but didn’t know how to get started?

• Which type of camera will suit you the most?
• Which lenses will be ideal to make the pictures that you yearn to click?
• How much of your hard-earned money should you invest in photography upfront?
• How long will your investment serve you?
• And what results can you expect?
• Do you have clarity about the above questions?

Don’t you think it’s wise to seek professional advice and purchase the right kind of equipment rather than make an uninformed decision and regret later?

I have found that you can save between ₹ 15,000 and ₹ 40,000 on photography equipment if you get the correct advice first—avoid buying and re-buying equipment that serves you poorly.

I regret not seeking advice when I started my journey in photography. If I had got the right advice at the right time, I could have saved over ₹90,000 on cameras and lenses alone.
