If you really want to keep the client out of your way, run a second hdmi from your laptop to another monitor where they can sit and view it.

5:56 Am i the only one that thinks that "olive oil" toss was smooth as hell lol

Not sure if anyone mentioned this about the acrylic ice, but always make sure your liquid level is below the top of the highest cube. Acrylic cubes sink, real ice floats!

As a Food Photographer myself, I absolutely second this list. 5 in 1 reflector/diffuser is on top of that list. Brilliant stuff👍🏼

Thank you for sharing your hard earned secrets and tips. These are wonderful, helpful details.

[starrymari]

I’ve been wanting to try tethered but I don’t really know how or where to start. It would be awesome if you did a video about it :)

[davidesparon]

Thank you! I never thought about so many things you've talked about... Great job!

I would add to your toolbox: toothpicks, thin fishing line, scissors, scrapnenel, bluetack and a role of oven paper. Of course this is my opinion. I really liked the prop catalogue idea!

[NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW]

Man...suchh a great tip on cataloging your plates...

[LesChroniquesDeGeorge]

I got the fake ice on Amazon, I used it for a shot of a Martini bottle... man that came out better than I expected! I think it must be the most beautiful photo of a Martini bottle lol

Here I am, watching your videeo at 3 am whilst drunkk. Your content is just so good, vizually pleasiing, and content-diense to just pass! That’s a compliment! 🙌

Love the prop catalog idea! I've just started food photography, mostly for my cooking business, but the catalog idea would certainly help when looking for new props!

[TheRickurb]

I’m surprised you didn’t have rubber gloves on your list. It’s the first thing I do after I’ve set my light and camera

[AkshayJoshiFilms]

The acrylic ice and prop catalog idea were completely new to me. Thank you so much!

Hi Skyler, I love your videos and your work is truly amazing!!! I also really appreciate your talents in teaching quality content that food and product photographers. The only thing I’d add that I have found to be supper helpful in my tool kit are A clamps and black tin foil (both of which I never seem to have enough) and finally a mirror or a couple of mirrors.
Keep up the great work, Skyler!
