SUMMARY
Max Kent suggests that photography skills and habits are more crucial for improvement than purchasing new equipment. He advocates for committing to a single prime lens to develop a consistent shooting style and better framing. Kent also recommends studying photography through books rather than endless online feeds to understand an artist's complete body of work. He emphasizes shooting in volume, practicing skills like composition and light, and gaining experience by shooting for free to build a portfolio and find one's unique photographic voice.
