Saw a post about someone who was shooting an event for free, but a ton of the comments were talking about why you would shoot for free. I thought, as a beginning photographer, you should shoot as much as you can to get your name out there, which includes shooting free, is this wrong?
Currently a student photographer for a newspaper, love what I'm doing and have even switched majors already to focus on doing more photography, however, I do feel a little let down by my gear. My camera struggles a lot with auto focus on even nearby subjects, and sometimes it even straight up doesn't work. Also struggles significantly in low light, so I've been looking at a new body. Wondering when others made the jump, what made them do it, and how they afforded it.
guys i meant that i like switched to an easier engineering major i didnt go into a photog major im not insane
