The Photographer's Business Coach Welcome to the Photographer’s Business Coach! I’ve been a photographer now for the past 22 years. In that time, I’ve shot big-budget ad campaigns, weddings of all shapes and sizes, portraits for families rich and not-so-rich and traveled the world photographing fantastic people and places.

The Podcast - CanonBlogger An integral part of my online presence is the regular podcast: Learning Digital Photography. It started with occasional vid-casts and audio shorts published here on the blog (the early years, if you prefer). These video recordings are available from the now very much dated “Learning Resource Center“. Some of it is very amusing…my choice of music intros, corny teasers, and slips of the tongue.

our approach to food photos As much as it flatters me when I get emails asking what my secret to taking pictures is, I rarely have a good response. I don’t think of myself as a real photographer, I never learned accepted techniques and I barely know what half the buttons on the camera do. If you like my photos, you’ll probably agree you can get far without this information (though I suspect you could get further with it). The majority of food photography advice I have read boils down to two main points: don’t use flash and style the food attractively. Honestly, these days I rarely do either.
Food photography setup Just recently I have got a few emails from people asking about the food photography setup that I use. I honestly find those some of the most flattering emails I have ever received, because honestly, I am a big time hack. BIG TIME. I don’t do photography as a job, and really have very little time to shoot the food I cook, before I eat it.
