Absolutely loved that.
Feeling filled with inspiration, about to go full time and some very crucial bits of advice really stuck home.
Don’t think me trying to sell our house would go down very well with my girlfriend though 😂
Epic bottle photography on location.
Stunning
what drill is he talking about? brick drill?
Yes just a normal drill.
Karl , family of angles – refections in your glasses. you lost weight mate – looking good. (-;
Ha Ha although that angle is reflecting in my glasses it must also be making me look slimmer!
Interesting interview.
This was a really interesting conversation with an insightful and thoughtful man. Tales of the ups and downs, with some helpful tips thrown in for good measure. Just goes to show that, even at the top, to win a commission can be hard work.
Definitely, thanks for watching David.
wonderful insight into what constitutes a photographer’s work working to fulfil briefs and other queries. but the freedom in such a work is most precious.
