In order to take a good photo, people think they need an expensive camera, and after that, they think they need an even more expensive lens, and so forth. In reality, all you need is your phone, and a mix of imagination and skills. And the result is sometimes even better than the results with expensive gear. This effect is called toolbox fallacy: the gist of it is that in order to do something, people mistakenly think that they need a list of tools to do it, when in fact, anything minimal might suffice.
