Do you have a camera?

If you do, which camera do you have, which lens(es) do you have, and list any other equipment you’ve got. (Chances are, you’re looking to upgrade to improve your photography, but more often than not, that’s like buying better shoes so that you’re able to play Basketball better…) If you don’t have a camera, which camera do you have your eye on if any?

When you pick up your camera, what's the first thing you wish you knew how to do better?

Examples: I want to take pictures in Manual Mode instead of Auto or Aperture-Priority. Why is my camera taking all of these blue photos?! How do I change the ISO on this camera? I wish I knew which lens to bring out with me instead of bringing the whole camera bag. How do I use this flash?!

Imagine you've just taken your ideal food or cocktail photograph. Describe three skills you would have to be highly confident in to produce those images. Then take it a step further and give each skill a subheading.

Here are five examples, but you can just give me three of your own: 1) Lighting: Shadow work/Using shadows to draw more attention to my cocktail. 2) Styling: Complimenting the cocktail with well-placed, relevant props. 3) Aperture/Depth of field: Getting the entire dish in focus. 4) White Balance: Using color gels to match sunlight. 5) Shooting in RAW instead of JPEG: I just don’t understand the difference.

Are there any specific photography terms, techniques, or photography equipment that currently confuse or intimidate you?

Examples: WB, TTL, Bracketing, ISO, “Fast Glass”, Bokeh, Hot Shoe versus Cold Shoe, Tethering, SD Card formatting, Flash Shutter speed, Vignetting…
