@dearmaria.ugc: For the longest time I thought I needed a full camera setup to start… but this is what I’ve been using for the past 1.5 months: – iPhone 15 Pro Max (refurbished) @greengadgetsAU @JB Hi-Fi New Zealand Official JB Hi-Fi Australia – Ulanzi 75mm macro lens (for those crisp close-ups) @Ulanzi_Official – Bystone product photography backdrops to make everything look clean and professional @bystone And it WORKED! Like actually worked. Those helped me create content I’m proud of without spending thousands. The macro lens made such a big difference when filming product details. It instantly made my shots feel more premium. (Hot tip: I did a thorough research where to get the most competitive price for Ulanzi macro lens) hihi 😅 let me know in the comments if you’d like more info 🫶🏻 If you’re starting UGC, this is your reminder: you don’t need a crazy expensive setup. Start with what you can afford, even refurbished or budget gear. What matters most is your creativity, lighting and how you tell the story. You can always upgrade later, but starting is the most important part 🤍 Exhibit A: Shot sample Torriden Cellmazing Pore Perfecting Ampoule @TORRIDEN US @Torriden PH If you’re interested to know more about the LIGHTINGS i use, you can check my page for PART 1 of my UGC Filming Tools ✨☺️ #ugccreator #ugcbeginner #ugccreatorsetup #contentcreatorsetup #productphotography ugcaustralia contentcreationtips lowbudget setup beginnerfriendlyugc ugcaustralia ugccommunity macrolens fyp
