You can do both photograpy and eye pieces with a number of scopes, usually its better to start with one built for photography as worst case you will just need an extension, vs e.g. a visual newtonian may need to nearly bottom out the focusser to reach focus with a camera.
For cameras you can start as simple as a phone camera, the results won't beat some of the photos people post, but you can still make it your own, otherwise cheap DSLR's can be used without too much issues for a beginner, as proper astro cameras are a tad pricy, and mostly help with reducing how long you need to shoot for (less noise and higher sensitivity)
Big question, do you want to move your gear to locations to shoot other than say home?, or wherever you where thinking, if so, pay attention to how heavy the pieces are, for me my mount and scope are what many would shun for astrophotograhy (picked up off facebook marketplace for $250), but they are reasonably light to carry somewhere in 2 chunks,
