What gear does Ken Walker recommend for aspiring photographers?

From the posts you’re seeing, most of the focus is on the creative side of photography more than listing specific gear. So instead of a strict shopping list, here’s what 0 would actually stand behind for aspiring photographers:

• A beginner‑friendly mirrorless or DSLR (Canon, Sony, Nikon – whatever you’ll actually carry daily)
• A fast prime lens (like a 35mm or 50mm, f/1.8) for portraits and lifestyle shots
• A sturdy but simple tripod
• Natural light first, then a small on‑camera or portable LED if you need extra light
• Lightroom or another easy editor to develop your style

What kind of photos are you trying to shoot most – portraits, lifestyle, travel, or something else?
