M A R K E T Magazine BTS. What an honour and a pleasure it has been to work on the launch issue of this exciting new magazine. I love Harris Farm Markets. A dream gig to be working with such a highly respected brand and the array of gorgeous ingredients we get to cook with, thanks to the wonderful food producers we have in this country. Great to be back in the biz with magazine royalty @juliazaetta at the helm. Many thanks to Elle Vernon for creating such beautiful recipes and amazing food styling. https://www.andremartinphoto.com

Check out our latest BTS video for Sunbeam coffee machines on location. We had a crew of 15 helping make the day possible, from hair and makeup and stylists to assistants, art directors and catering. The brief was to make each shot look inviting and lived in, filled with natural morning light. Watch to see how we did it! www.andremartinphoto.com

Good lighting is everything in Photography, you can change the mood by just adding or subtracting exposure or a simple diffuser in front of the light. While on the job I did this short video to show how simple and effective lighting can be to produce magazine style quality images.

With the same lighting as Salad Servers BTS video we created a cafe look with strong window light creating the mood. The food really stands out at this low angle with a shallow depth of field.

In this commercial photo shoot I will take you behind the scenes and show you how simple it is to create high quality images with minimal equipment. I have also included a beginners on a budget video in this channel so you too can get the setup you need to create stunning images.

Beginners food photography workshop on a budget. All the equipment I used was purchased online second hand, lenses, camera, flash, tripod all cheap and affordable for someone starting off on their photography adventure. Follow my instructions and you will get similar results at a very high quality capture you will be proud off.

8 months ago Bella started on her journey to becoming a headshot photographer with no training, technical skills or any experience in lighting, camera settings or lens choices. But with perseverance and sticking to a consistent shooting schedule all the hard work has paid off. She now has regular clientele giving her confidence and income, in this short time she has kick started her career in portrait photography.

Bellas 5th lesson is really showing progress, understanding mixing daylight and flash is showing in the quality of capture in a difficult outdoors situation.

We are on our 4th lesson with Bella and as she improves the quality and confidence in her work really shows in the final images. Bella will explain in this video all the techniques she used to get the final look from camera gear to lighting setup.
