[@joaofcgs2]

Thank you for the amazing tips! What light gear are you using exactly for hard/soft lighting?

[@ernestonavedo5239]

Hi Joanie, did you make the video about polarizer? Thanks

[@user-oc6mr1jr6s]

I have undergone a lighting course and feel quite positive regards my knowledge. But... I see all of the bigger drink photographers use stylists, rent studios etc. Basically they only push the shutter. How can i feel confident entering this "market" as a Newbie that can't afford stylists etc as I dont have the big clients like Smirnoff? I feel quite comfortable regarding composition. After all as a photographer it is kind of a must and the reason I started as it comes naturally. Also, how boring to only push the button. Nothing creative about that. If you have time to answer I am forever grateful lovely lady.

[@melissalucero3185]

I am so glad I stood for the shakin bacon 😂😂😂😂

[@TheBiteShot]

YESSS! Bacon's back!!!

[@marcotalianidemarchio3359]

[@chriscaress707]

Love your channel, great tips but what did you do with this video? The constant swap between the two cameras is really jarring. Doing this occasionally is fine but this looks like you had it on a timer!

[@supriyagupta7619]

What kind of surfaces have you used here?

[@TheBiteShot]

These are by Woodville workshop

[@craftingafamilydinner]
