What tools and gear does Michelle Palmer recommend for amateur photographers?

Hi there! I do not have a single “master list” of gear on that TikTok page, and the posts you’re seeing there are mostly finished photos rather than breakdowns of equipment. So I cannot honestly point to a specific kit I have publicly recommended.

Based on what I generally suggest for amateurs, I’d look at:

• An entry‑level mirrorless camera with a kit zoom (e.g., 24–70mm)
• One fast prime (e.g., 35mm or 50mm f/1.8) for portraits and low light
• A sturdy but lightweight tripod
• A simple on‑camera or small off‑camera flash
• Extra batteries, SD cards, and a basic camera bag

If you tell me your budget and what you like to shoot (portraits, travel, sports, etc.), I can suggest a more concrete starter setup.
