Continue reading: Shooting cosmetic brushes: simple tips to help dealing with chrome finish  Yesterday I was buying 10 bottles of HEET (100% methanol) and distilled water for my car (who can guess why? :-)) at Walmart and accidentally noticed something very familiar while walking near kitchenware shells… It was like: did I shoot these?

Continue reading: Food photographer in Atlanta: chicken wings, photographer, stylist and a sauce:-)  Some time ago we met online Alla Koval, an amazing knitwear and crochet designer. My wife was thrilled by the models she has seen on Alla’s blog and quickly become a big fan of her work (check out her blog: www.mylittlecitygirl.com).
