OUR APPRENTICE SAYS…

I usually shoot handheld, with a really high ISO, and end up with hundreds of unusable images. Olly’s advice on using a tripod was extremely helpful. I have a tripod at home gathering dust, but now I have a reason to use it again. I’ve never really considered lighting to be an important part of the photo, either; I’ve concentrated on acquiring better gear. However, as the day went on Olly showed me that the simple act of using some paper, a menu or mountboard as a reflector can do wonders for my food photos. It’s so simple!
