Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:
- Hello Marco, I have a gear and marketing related question for you. I am working part-time as an event and wedding photographer. On my jobs, I use a Fuji X-T2 and a Fuji X-Pro 2 with prime lenses. My clients are always satisfied with the results that I deliver. But especially at weddings I often see guests with much bigger and more expensive DSLR cameras taking pictures as well. And sometimes I get asked if I plan on upgrading to a pro camera any time, soon - or similar questions. I know that my images are good, but do you think that it would help to upgrade to a larger kit in order to look more professional and maybe charge more money for my jobs in the future?

- Hi, could you please elaborate on the difference between the electronic vs. the mechanical shutter. When should you and when should you not use the different kinds of shutter?
Question from: Vincent, Long Beach, California
- Hi Marco, what is the point of using an extra L-bracket or L-plate with a tripod? I can simply turn the ball head on my tripod by 90° to move from landscape to portrait orientation. Thanks!

- I’m having a hard time judging the true color of my printed photos. I have a calibrated LCD monitor and a calibrated ICC workflow. The images come out in my studio the way I want, but when I bring them to hang at a customers house or display them at a coffee shop, they often have a different color tint. How can I avoid this?
