I totally love Anna. She is humble and I appreciate her “no fluff” approach. Please, more with Anna. 🙂
👍❤️
Anna mention something about using gelatin when shooting cocktails (?) to help when you want the colours to maintain their layers.. did I hear that correctly? Are there any other little tricks to help maintain those preferred states of presentation a little longer while you are building your setup for a shoot?
Hi Gary, this is something I’m going to have to relay to Anna to answer.
This is an excellent dessert prep course. I love to cook and I love photography but have never tried food photography. I’m quickly learning that the prepping of the food is as important as placement and lighting. After chilling the dessert to settle the cream cheese, do you encounter condensation on the glass? If so how do you combat this before shooting?
Hi Geoff, yes we experienced problems with this, I think Anna showed her removing it in one of the videos, she had to let it stand for a while and then wipe away, alternatively shoot in a super cold studio! 🙂
