Recommended Photography Gear List

For a LONG time now, I've been getting a LOT of requests for a recommended photography gear list. So here it is!

Art of the Image Recommended Photography Gear List

It'll be a work in progress as I up-date it with new equipment and new recommendations as I use and form an opinion on new gear.

The great thing is it's an Amazon list so it'll let you click right through and purchase at the lowest price price if you'd like to buy something.

Please help support this website! Purchasing cameras, lenses, books and other items from our sponsor (Amazon.com) using the links provided on this website does not cost you any more than purchasing items directly from them. It helps us keep all of the content on this site available for free. Thanks!
