HI Lauren. Loved this video. Very informative. I was trying to download the free pdf kit but I get a splash page with no link. Have you retired it?

Hey Lauren, I wanted to thank you for your videos! I had an interesting experience last week. During a photoshoot, I crossed the chopsticks for one of the photos. Unfortunately, this is considered to be bad manners and the client asked me to keep the chopsticks parallel instead. I learned something new and thought I'd share it with you.

Thanks for sharing this video. Can you give example on how to use rule of thirds in flat lay food photography?

Speaking of composition, what is that little white dot just right of the speaker? Is that a dead pixel on the digital sensor? She moved her finger over it and I swear it was still here. Regardless, great video.
