High Times – October 2019

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

Let’s start things off with

some photography basics

and then move on to setup,

lighting and post-produc-

tion techniques. Many

believe that photography is

all about the equipment, but

I’m going to show you how

knowledge can overcome a

lack of gear. You don’t need

to spend a small fortune to

create quality photos.

Now, what will you need

to shoot like a pro?

Camera (DSLR or mirrorless

preferred)

Lens

Tripod

Lights (strobes or continu-

ous lighting with modifiers)

Backdrops, tables, tents

Computer and software

Beautiful cannabis

If you don’t own a camera,

the first thing I’d recommend

is coming up with a budget.

If you plan on using the same

camera for video, you might

be able to justify spending a

little more money. If you’re

short on funds, I’d recom-

mend an older DSLR. You

can find some great cameras

online, many of them barely

used. You can also find amaz-

ing deals on lenses, lights

and everything else you

might need.
