Do you really need an expensive camera to take great photos? That’s the question portrait photographer Miguel Quiles tackles in the below video where he compares shooting with a Sony A7R IV, which retails for around $5400, with Sony’s 24-70mm G Master lens vs the Sony ZV1, a compact camera that sells for just under $650.

One effective way to salvage a low-impact photo is to convert the image to b&w. That’s because certain photographs are far more compelling when rendered in monochrome.
