Landscape photography is one of the most accessible genres of photography to get into. You don’t need big lenses, expensive primes, studio lights, or massive apertures. All you really need is a camera and a lens to start taking incredible images. Through this guide I’ll be covering general recommendations with budget in mind. If you’re someone who’s likely to spend over $2000 on their first camera, this guide likely isn’t for you. Ideally the goal is to recommend the best equipment you can get for the value. This includes buying used or utilizing markets such as eBay and Facebook marketplace on equipment such as tripods, bags, and other accessories.

This entire guide is written with landscape photography as the goal. This means things like image quality will heavily outweigh autofocus, or weight/size will be a bigger priority than a large aperture. My approach is quite minimal considering the majority of my own work can be taken on just a camera and two lenses. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying gear, but it also feels great to know we can accomplish a lot with very little!
