Gear + Rental Guidance
Beginner Gear Rental Guide
What to rent or buy when you are building your portrait kit.
Start Simple
A reliable camera body and a fast 50mm or 85mm prime lens covers most portrait sessions.
When to Rent
Rent specialty lenses, lighting kits, or backup bodies for high-stakes sessions instead of buying immediately.
Match Gear to Session Type
Studio sessions may need lighting modifiers; outdoor sessions may need reflectors and longer lenses.
