Hopefully you do know what you are doing.
Well, I was kinda talking about more than 'appearance,' but rather, 'manner.' But, even so, past that,
Theoretically, that'd be where the photos come in, wouldn't it? Assuming you get them. Which means, to your subject, your camera needs to be exactly as important or unimportant as it needs to be, and that means, it's the *camera in your hands,* not a name.
Being a photog means you may need to one moment be pointing a really huge rig at someone and have em be like, 'Ah, that's like a friend with an instamatic,' and the next minute, you might have to be *pointing* an Instamatic and making em feel like they're freakin' Katharine Hepburn.
If you think brand name counts for a blessed thing, it's far less than the performativity some think they can buy with such names.
