Why you should take 100 photos of a mug…
Strobist Photography
Strobist photography is made harder by the fact that you are trying to capture something that only exists for a fraction of a second. Using your flash off camera is much more a process of creation, rather than just recording something that already exists, as with traditional photography.
It’s no secret that I am an absolute coffee fiend, so I love taking the opportunity to combine it with photography. Here’s how doing just that will help you master strobist photography in no time.



The Coffee
