Parth, I have a very different perspective to this. The answer to your question is "No" and I assume you are asking if you need to own a camera before you take up the basic course. I have conducted weekend sessions for many students who don't have cameras by sharing the cameras we have. All that the students need to have is the will to learn, will to wake up early and explore... If after the course you see an interest to buy, based on your interest and budget we recommend and provide necessary help. I hope this answers your question. Call me during the weekend if you need guidance or drop me a message. read less

Its almost like asking that I want to go to a school to study. Do I need books. Photography has two aspects to it: Creative and Technical. Creativity does not require a tool like camera but the moment you want to give shape to your creativity, you need a tool which is camera in this case.

Without camera you can understand the technical part, but to practise it you have your camera so that by practising it the question will come in your mind and get clear about it.
