do you want to take?

Choose a genre and get directed to matching techniques and gear recommendations.

Ever wondered...

"Do I have to pick a genre? Can't I just shoot everything?"

Of course you can shoot everything. But picking one genre means you'll learn far more with the same gear. Six months of focused portrait shooting with one 85mm prime will grow your skills much faster than dabbling in every genre. You can always switch later — just pick one and start.

"Do I need a different camera for each genre?"

Camera bodies work for most genres. The main difference is lenses and accessories. Portraits need a prime (85mm), landscapes need wide-angle (16–24mm), macro needs a macro lens (100mm) — one extra lens opens up a whole new genre.
