As always a lot of helpful insights Alain. Although I am a little puzzled by this statement "Creating fine art photographs is not about trying to save money by buying lower-priced equipment or supplies. It is about creating the finest piece possible regardless of cost" I sense that what you really mean is that cost is not important? because surely the expense or quality of the equipment is subservient to the artists vision. Yes maybe your particular vision requires a 80mpx medium format back but that doesn't mean that "Art" created with cheaper tools is so

Thanks Alain. I think I misinterpreted. Naturally if one is successful in marketing and has priced their work appropriately the materials costs will be recovered anyhow. I look forward to more insights in this series. By the way I have your excellent book Mastering Landscape Photography. Thanks again
