FAQs
- Is this just for DSLR Owners? – You don’t need to have to own a DSLR but it will help. There is lots of information about the principles of light, lighting set-up etc, so long as people are willing to go manual and play with aperture settings you’ll be fine. That said, Gina’s style is achieved using specific lenses and settings, so you will need a DSLR if you want to get EXACTLY the same depth of field
