Camera Help - 10-08-2010, 07:10 PM


I was big into photography in college; however, since then life has gotten in the way. I'm looking to do some professional photography, but I'm way out of date with the equipment! Anyone have suggestions on a good camera for portrait photography?

Thanks!

It is advisable to get your skills up to speed before worrying about making it a profession and making money at it.

Making money as a portrait photographer isn't just buying a nice camera and you are set.

My choice would probably be a Canon 5D mark II and a 85mm 1.2L II lens. Then add some studio lights and speed lights. Don't forget the wireless triggers. And of course, photoshop, portraiture, and lightroom.
