I have really missed the what’s shakin’ bacon! So glad it’s back :-)

[@TheBiteShot]

Yay!

[@user-oc6mr1jr6s]

I have undergone a lighting course and feel quite positive regards my knowledge. But... I see all of the bigger drink photographers use stylists, rent studios etc. Basically they only push the shutter. How can i feel confident entering this "market" as a Newbie that can't afford stylists etc as I dont have the big clients like Smirnoff? I feel quite comfortable regarding composition. After all as a photographer it is kind of a must and the reason I started as it comes naturally. Also, how boring to only push the button. Nothing creative about that. If you have time to answer I am forever grateful lovely lady.

[@melissalucero3185]

I am so glad I stood for the shakin bacon 😂😂😂😂

[@TheBiteShot]

YESSS! Bacon's back!!!

[@craftingafamilydinner]

[@chriscaress707]

Love your channel, great tips but what did you do with this video? The constant swap between the two cameras is really jarring. Doing this occasionally is fine but this looks like you had it on a timer!
