Equipment
Anyone is capable of taking great pictures using almost any camera available. I’ve seen great shots come from disposable cameras just as I’ve seen poor photos come from some of the most expensive cameras made.
The key to getting consistently good photos is having the right gear and, more importantly, knowing how to properly use it. At CGM Photography, we constantly invest in our equipment so that we have the most modern, technically advanced cameras and gear available. Additionally, we attend numerous classes and workshops to refine our skills and keep current on recent trends. The proof of this can be seen in our photos.
When shopping photographers, you’d be hard-pressed to find another photography team that has as modern or up-to-date gear as CGM Photography. Some of our equipment is:
