Is it worth going into debt to buy gear?

No matter if you do photography as a hobby or for a living – it costs money. A lot of it. Because of this,ny people consider taking a loan to buy gear. In this video, Josh Enobakhare (aka Olufemii) discusses if this is a smart move or not.

If you’re “I want it all and I want it now” type of person, you probably think of going into debt as a way of getting the gear you want as soon as possible. On the other hand, you may rather take it step by step just so you don’t have to owe anyone anything. I must admit, I am this latter type, but according to Josh – there are times when it’s perfectly fine to go into debt just so you can buy gear.

I remembered when I was sitting in my cubicle, dreaming and lusting after a digital Leica M9. I imagined after buying it, all of my life’s problems would be solved. I imagined the camera would inspire me to be more creative, brave, and inspired in my photography. I imagined how cool I would look in the streets with a Leica over my shoulder. I also imagined how much more people would “respect” or admire me, simply because I had a Leica.

The truth is, symbols and brands have a strong effect on our psychology. A brand is a symbol of trust, prestige, and quality.
