Which is more important: Equipment or Photographer?

Что важнее: техника или фотограф?

In my opinion, photography is an art in which the master's eye is important, his ability to see beauty in simple things. Technique, in its turn, is just a tool with the help of which the photographer conveys his feelings and ideas.

Of course, technique is important, but it cannot replace artistic vision. It's like in music: you can have a great piano, but without the talent of the performer it won't sound the way it should. It's the same with a camera: it won't create unless there is a person behind it who understands what, how, and why it should be filmed. What's more important to me is what's behind the lens – the emotions, the atmosphere, the beauty that lurks in a person and that you just have to be able to convey. And yes, to this day one of my favorite tools is an old Nikon D5100, on which I shot my first significant works.
