A camera and a tripod are the only essential tools. Your ability to create meaningful art relies on your vision and communication, not the price of your gear. While professional equipment is a benefit, these techniques apply to everything from high-end digital cameras to modern mobile devices. For post-production, we recommend Photoshop, though more affordable alternatives such as Pixelmator (under $40) can deliver excellent results for those just starting out.
