"Who are you without an expensive camera?": the photographer responded to the haters with cool shots taken on a soap dish
Phillip Haumesser is a self-taught professional photographer whose works have appeared in many world publications. Homesser learned all his knowledge about photography from training YouTube channels. His works were published by The Huffington Post, Daily Mail, Woman's Day. This is probably why it is extremely unpleasant for a photographer to read comments on social networks from people who are sure that his pictures turn out so well only thanks to expensive equipment.
Homesser, obviously, got tired of this, and he fought back. "I decided to find the cheapest camera and the cheapest lenses and take photos to prove that the photographer's art does not depend on his camera."
"On eBay, I found a Canon t2i for $ 183 and a 50-millimeter Pentax 1.7 lens for $ 15. All the equipment cost me a little more than $ 200. I took the camera, called my sons, and the three of us arranged a photo shoot."
"The photos were edited using Photoshop and Lightroom, until no one started shouting "photoshop". I don't care if someone thinks using photoshop is cheating."
"Because when I take pictures, I have a certain vision in my head of what it should look like. So I make a frame, and then I literally finish drawing that image from my head. And this is a key moment for me."
"And before someone says that they can't afford Photoshop, as well as an expensive camera: I pay two and a half dollars a week for my own."
