[@brucepalme7271]

Some great great ideas for food photography in this video Charles. I will try this next time I dine out.

[@wollertz]

Aweosme! Best of luck and let me know how it goes!

[@annerichard788]

Great tips, I suck at food photography but I might try again sometime following these ideas.

[@wollertz]

Patience and practice, I look back at my first kid job as a good photographer 🤦‍♂️😅. Get close and make the best with whatever light situation you are working with 🙌

[@palmtreeleebythesea]

Good videos about best ideas for food photography tips stock images. Thanks. Best! A subscriber

[@wollertz]

Thanks so much for the comment! I’m glad you liked the video 🙌

[@rolfkarlsson9439]

Thanks Charles. I appreciate discussion of what the reality is for me and, I guess, many others. Photography is just a hobby. When being out with family and friends I often bring my camera. I don’t want others to constantly wait for me and I need to be fast in capturing what I see, whether it’s food or anything else. But I still want to make good and sellable photos. It’s a challenge, but I like it.

[@wollertz]

My friends hate going out with me 😂. It’s only a few minutes… then I start changing angles and replaying things… I usually order an appetizer to keep them happy 😁

[@rolfkarlsson9439]

@@wollertz Good idea. I need to start to order appetizers too 😅

[@Brenda-es3gw]

Great tips and reminders Charlie! Thanks! 📷

[@wollertz]

Thanks so much 🙌

[@seanaidan4577]

Yes you’re right I upload nearly every day, I know photographers who complain they never sell any of their great photos that they uploaded five years ago 😄

[@wollertz]

🤦‍♂️

[@mirovrlik]

Yap, I love food photography and video

[@wollertz]

Thanks for the tips on shooting in restaurants. Now I have another thing to try. If your meals are able to be written off, would not your hotel and mileage also be? Last thing -- shooting through the windshield...I hope Bambi was driving and not you using your knees. Cheers.

[@wollertz]

What if we look at the meals as props, and also take photos in the hotel room as a prop/studio 🤷‍♂️. Yes Bambi drove most of the way 😁. Thanks so much for the comment 🙌

[@pauldarville3843]

Interesting advice, thanks Charlie!!

[@wollertz]

Thanks! 😁🙌

What do u use for editing your photos - Display Tablet / Graphic Tablet ? I've budget to buy R8 Camera or a Display tablet, only one thing to buy at a time. Which option to consider first ? Confused between 2. Can I earn money clicking high quality photographs ? Please suggest best affordable Lens for doing Photography or Videography including macro shot that you like. Thanks.🙏

[@wollertz]

I use a 27 inch iMac As far as a lens it totally depends on what you want to shoot. For macro I use a 180mm macro and extension tubes

[@GregKelton]

Great ideas and thoughts. Always learning something. Thanks

[@wollertz]

Awesome! thanks!

[@Brdk144]

Appriciate those videos, they are priceless even though, I don't have too much to show on my stock. By the way is it allowed to show photos for example on private instagram or facebook when they are available on stock?

[@wollertz]

Thanks so much! and yes absolutely, those are your photos, agencies have the ability to sell the usage rights, but you are the owner of the photos

[@Brdk144]

@@wollertz Thank you, have a nice day.

Hi Charlie - Another great video. On the tax write-off. I am no accountant, but I have had one or more businesses most of my life. I would think some or all of the meal expense is a write-off. There are rules to calculate the percentage of write off for mixed-use expenses like a home office or using your personal car for business, not sure how it works for expenses you can eat.

[@wollertz]

Thanks so much! I'll have to do a little more research, It would be nice if I could write the food as props 😅. Cheers!

[@stockfootagez]

have you updated the firmware on your R5? afaik they fixed overheating a year ago, and mine is never overheating though

[@wollertz]

I did a few months ago, but 100+ degrees and sunshine, even I was overheated 😅. Thanks for the suggestion 🙌

[@mohammadaamir3275]

Any tips for graphic designer ? 😅 I actually make vector graphics for Shutterstock and adobe

[@wollertz]

I wish I knew more about it. I have only created some from photos, but not enough to give advise

[@mohammadaamir3275]

@@wollertz no worries 😁 if you find something please share with us thankyou 👍

[@Randy_in_Pittsburgh]

Would you please consider doing a video on the proper way to caption editorial vs commercial content? Or are they captioned the same way? Or does each site require a particular format? I'm just trying to not screw things up more than I already do. 😂 Thank you so much for everything. Truly respect and appreciate you!!!

[@wollertz]

Shutterstock, Getty and a few others require a specific format. I believe I mention it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX6bq595adqdZtksi=WoBLY9xZ3XcfQ8HP

[@Randy_in_Pittsburgh]

@@wollertz Thank you so much!!

[@plusminus1142]

Thanks for this great Video! I am an accountant from Germany but i can‘t stand this Job anymore 😅and transforming into a stockphotographer. Watching your Videos is such a fantastisch Motivation. Your question regarding the expenses for the meals. I would also try to Write-Off a percentage amount regarding to your Sales.

[@wollertz]

Thanks so much! and best of luck 🙌🏼 Regarding the tat thing I am going to have to investigate a little, I like the idea but sales could take a year or two before they create real income 🤷‍♂️

[@ShorifSheikh0]

i like your video /(From Bangladesh)

[@wollertz]

Thanks so much!

[@CarmenSisson]

Your food and drink shots are always exceptional. Mine end up looking like cheap dog food! I absolutely agree that daily uploading makes a difference to the algorithm. My shots per day are lower than I'd like right now due to juggling family stuff, and it stresses me out a bit. P.S. Thanks for the shout out. Awkward side note about my membership -- sometimes my bank account is rather sketchy, so if you see me drop off as a subscriber and then return, it's not you, it's my precarious finances. I will return as soon as I have funds in the bank. 😕

[@wollertz]

Food wasn't always my favorite thing to photograph... some of my first paid food photo shoots are are bit embarrassing 😅. With a lot of practice and attention to lighting I was able to learn a lot more and get better at it. Thanks so much for the support, and please don't stress out. I appreciate the membership but I also don't want you to be stressed or in a bad place financially or emotionally speaking. Keep shooting and in a few months time things will change. Best wishes. 🙌🏼

Where is this? A map? If you need tips on food photography, let me know, I'd love to help.

[@wollertz]

I'd like tips on how to do the map thing cuz I'm lost, a map would be very helpful!

[@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle]

@wollertz Use Google Earth and just screen record. A map would have made this video great! Plus, where is Bambi? No running segment of Bambi? I feel robbed

I believe you can write off 50% of the meals.

I was hop in since they are props I could do 100% 😅🤷‍♂️
