Why can a master or professional photographer who can't afford good equipment make money by taking pictures?

On this issue, I think generally speaking, photographers make money by ability, specifically, photographers make money by photo quality. This is technology. Of course, any profitable industry actually has the following characteristics.

1 technology

Photography is actually a technical job. Some people took beautiful photos of the same scenery, while others didn't. The reason is limited technical ability. So upgrading technology is also fundamental to making money.

2. Integration with the theme

Photography has a subject, which can be a person or an object, but you know it well enough to take good-looking photos, so you must keep understanding with the subject.

Step 3 equip

Of course, I'm not saying that the equipment must be very important, but the quality of the equipment can easily affect the overall imaging, so having a good camera will get twice the result with half the effort.

In short, if photography wants to make money, it must improve its own ability, which is the last word.

You are always welcome to add anything, and I hope to hear your opinions.
