Question
I just had tO dO sOme research, and i was wOndering what tOOls yOu need fOr phOtography?

Answer
This may be the strangest and most vague question I have ever had... I suppose a camera would be the most important unless it's a broken one then a hammer maybe.  No but seriously a camera with a battery to start.  Also I am assuming that you mean tools in physical tools and not tools as in an eye to compose and so on.  If you could specify I may be able to help a little more.
