Heres the deal:
One of the guys on my course is re-designing a website for this restaurant in Woking (i think) called 'The Biz', and they needed a whole load of new photographs. Thats my entry, seeing as i've already done a portrait of this guy before, and he was more than happy with the results [link]

Turns out i'm gonna be paid a sizeable amount for this shoot, and now it seems that unlike all the shitty anime people on this site who abuse the japanese language, I can actually say i've been commissioned to do something. Thats right, I went there, and I can because i've got my A* in Japanese already and don't just say kawaii all the fucking time.

Sorry for the bitter entry, but those anime people do just get on my nerves with their clear lack of basic knowledge in their medium.

As far as my backlog of photos goes i'm still sorting through london zoo photos, then i've got Warnham Nature Reserve to sort out as well, so its gonna be a while before theres a proper commissioned photo up here from 'The Biz'

If anyone has some sneaky tips on food portraits, please share, otherwise i'm shooting everything about f/8-16 with natural light, then playing around with the white balance
