Thanks for all your great videos Joanie! I've ordered my C stand, and started saving for that sweet Westcott LED panel to replace my ho-hum Neewer panels. Thanks for sharing your experience and all these great methods to improve our studio work. It's much appreciated.
AMO tus videos, muchas gracias por compartir… I really love your videos!! thanks a lot for sharing….. 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
Just started my own keto channel. This will help me a lot. Thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing your tips with us! I've been trying to find a foldable reflecting board like yours but can't seem to find these anywhere (ones that fold, anyway) – what should I look for?
Theirs no link for the bounce card. Does anyone know where I can get one?
where´s the picture? boreddddddddd.
I love your videos so much! Not only are they so informative but you have a way of making the techniques so much less intimidating! Thank you so much!
Joanie, is there a reason to prefer flash over an LED light? I have been using flash but I am curious if you have a preference and if there is a reason for using one over the other for certain shots.
So much boring. It has no meaningful learning tips.
Thanks for another great video Joanie, where can I find that bounce card. Haven’t been able to find it at the regular stores (B&H, Adorama, Samys etc.)
I recently got into food photography, love your channel and your energy, learning a lot
He's adorable :3
What a beautiful women!
try speaking less and stick to the point. Tip number one was in the middle of the video
I love your videos, they are so useful to me, also you have a great personality and charisma. Keep going.

Any tips on how to deal with your reflections on marble flatlay? 🙁

My God!!! I love you so much!! Wanna give you a very very tight hug right now. Your tutorials make me happy
I found the 1×2 Westcott for $1200 so is the 2×2 double..?? YIIKES that’s a lot of donuts. 👻
you so lively and informative. shukran
Finally… a flat lay tutorial that answers all my questions – thank you – subscribed
Great tips! The lighting tips in your videos have been invaluable to me. Aperature and depth of field is so important in food photography. Thank you for touching on the subject. I have a food photoshoot this Thursday, so I am reviewing your videos. You are a good teacher and have a great personality. Thank you!
Hi, Joanie! Thank you for your tips. Very useful. Now I`m going to buy artificial lighting (a standard flash 150 ws) and I wonder if there is a big difference between diffuser and softbox to diffuse light. I`m asking because I already have a huge diffuser (using it with natural light) and I don`t really understand if I need to buy a softbox now or I can try a diffuser. I don`t have any experience with artificial light yet. I would be thankful if you give me a tip 🙂
Can you do a video for tips for a good food or market haul photo? This exists no where on the internet!
Ahhhhh! I love finding new voices! Thanks for the tips!
My Canon has a preview screen, but it's always shutting off on me mid composition changes…. Does anyone know how to stop this?
Hi Joanie, love your tips…
Beautiful photo and tips! Great video! 💖
Hi Joanie. I'm just in love with you videos. Not just because your excellent and well taught content but mainly because you're always in a good mood and smiling, laughing, making jokes as sharing your insights with us. Every time I watch any of your videos I feel hypnotized then the video is over. Thanx with all my heart!
Awesome lighting tip…
Loved the part where u talk about diagonal shadows
Just a simple stuff but I never noticed it
You r really awesome
specular highlights- love it! also i'm pretty sure this is the reason i woke up wanting rainbow donuts this morning.
Hi Joanie, Oh my god….I have watched almost all your videos in the last week and I have been playing around with the tips that you give. I have also tested some shots in Manual mode as opposed to Auto or others, and I almost want to cry….from happiness….The difference is night and day, I could never imagine that a photo can be so affected by certain things…Really I want to cry and jump around screaming from joy..Thank you. I wish I could show you the before and after pictures and how your advice and guidance has improved my photos. I don't do food photography, I do clothes flat lay photography right now and your information applies 100%. I'm so happy. Thank you thank you thank you. I also love your vibes and watching your videos is pretty addicting, you are so funny, beautiful and fun. 🙂
Your so cute 😍
Simply love your content, learning a lot! Cheers!
Glamour Shots peak was the early 90s. Yes I did it, only because I won a free makeover and photo package.
What kind of table is that you are shooting on? Do you have an Amazon link for it?
Probably the best food photography channel out here!

Can I use the styrofoam to bounce lights?
