What does a bartender with a creative background do when it's slow at his job?
Photographs called to me like a challenge. Heres another thing i can get good at and my reward is having a pretty picture afterwards.
So i took pictures and i watched videos of people taking pictures. Listened to podcasts of people talking about taking pictures just so i can get into their minds and pull out more information to further my skills.
I choose days and times where restaurants was slow and i practiced with the prettiest drinks on the menu.
Heres what i learned.
Light is the most important thing in photography. No light no picture.
Your camera is your tool and to get good at using your tool you must use it. A lot.
Take pictures from different angles. Straight on, overhead, low angle, close up shot, one where the whole drink is in the picture.
And just like that a road of photos is paved.
