"but there is that other thing where you need all that equipment :D"
While I own some pro level lights, I keep only the absolute minimum to do what I do :)
Where I live renting a proper photo studio costs between EUR 15-50 per hour so for a properly paying customer it's all great and practically always available :)
Another interesting observation I have, over my own behavior, totally against all logic, I feel better when I do street photography when I travel abroad. Somehow people are more interesting far from home :D
100% :D
Hehehe, good to see I'm not the only one :D I suppose it's some psychological stuff :)))
