85mm or 105mm lens for flattering compression · Strobe lighting kit (2–3 lights) · Backdrop stand · Lightroom + Capture One for retouching.

Sony, Canon, and Nikon are all excellent for professional photography. The best brand is the one whose ecosystem (lenses, flashes, accessories) works for your shooting style. Ask the AI to compare specific models for your use case.
A mid-range APS-C mirrorless like the Sony A6700, Canon R50, or Fuji X-S20 gives you professional results without a huge investment. Pair it with a 35mm f/1.8 or 50mm f/1.8 lens.
Not necessarily — modern APS-C cameras are excellent for most professional work. Full-frame gives you better low-light performance and shallower depth of field, which matters most for weddings and events.
Budget $2,000–$4,000 for a solid starter kit: camera body, 2 lenses, memory cards, batteries, and a bag. Ask the AI to build you a specific kit within your budget.
Used gear from reputable sellers (MPB, KEH, B&H Used) can save 30–50%. Lenses hold their value especially well. Ask the AI what to look for when buying used camera gear.
