  • I should clarify: “I got my work printed” should imply that I had a company (that knows more than I do) print, mat, and frame my work. I’ve only really got one working hand these days, and to frame and mat something myself would be a disaster. That said, I just went with a simple Fujifilm glossy paper that seems to have done the trick. Is very impressive in person.

    As far as my shooting goes, I use a Canon EOS Rebel T7, with a simple 18-55mm lens, and occasionally a 75-300mm lens. These are standard kit lenses, but they can be used to create literal actual masterpieces and I’m not shy about it.

    I sadly don’t have a lot of money to sink into camera equipment—this camera and its lenses were a refurbished model on Amazon that ran USD 600, and I had saved up for months to be able to afford it. (That said, when a rich friend in tech saw what I was turning out with it, she passed me this insane Promaster tripod, to help create good work, and I think the tripod cost more than my camera did.)

    Even though I’m using the most barebones of tutorial equipment, I’m still creating good work that turns heads, and that’s all I ever really wanted.

    (Except my end-game level tripod.)
