Creative Table Top Photography with guest Helen Davies

Tog-Talk

Some of us love to photograph beautiful landscapes, others like to shoot people... maybe in the studio or maybe capture them candidly on the street. Helen Davies does most of her photography on the kitchen table and produces stunning images.
This week's Tog-Talk takes a week off from the current series on Photography Basics to look at a very talented lady. We will return to the 'Basics' series next week as we look at tips on getting your photos correctly exposed, especially under difficult lighting situations.
But now, it's back to Helen...
Creative Table-Top Photography
I've known Helen for a few years and I have been regularly impressed by the quality of her work and her creative imagination . Working with liquids, lights and various items usually found in the kitchen, she has proved to me that photography is not just landscapes and people.
In this weeks's Tog-Talk, Helen reveals her secrets for taking great table-top shots... and along the way, we have a few giggles as well.
I've taken the step of posting additional information and examples of her work in my blog, The Photography Teacher. There's only so much information that can be shared in a podcast. With a visual medium like photography, sometimes there simply has to be a way to show off the images.
Check out the The Photography Teacher to see some of Helen's work, and while you're there, feast upon all the other tutorials that are freely available on the site, including the higly popular 30 Days of Photoshop series.
