I’m Michael Wright, a fashion and beauty photographer working in London.
In this article I’m going to break down this fashion & portrait shoot on the streets of London, centred around a slow shutter concept. I’ll take you through everything, from pre-production to the day of the shoot.
In this article we will delve into the world of architectural photography, exploring technical considerations that can transform your photos. We will share practical examples to highlight how these techniques can impact your work, we will discuss the use of Manfrotto equipment and specific techniques I have used for architectural shots of AMAA Studio to inspire your compositions. You will learn about the angles, lighting, details, and essential equipment that every architectural photographer should consider.
In the world of cinema and photography, the right equipment is not just important—it’s everything. My journey began amidst the harsh deserts of Morocco, filming extreme races long before the advent of drones and stabilizers. Covering races in that environment was not an easy task. The extreme conditions of the terrain and climate demanded equipment that could withstand sand, heat, and impacts. Having a solid tripod was essential to capture sharp and stable images of moving vehicles.
When it comes to making crisp, decadent food and drink videos, the devil truly is in the details. Those details? Proper lighting and production design. A set up which has been well thought through can make all the difference between a mediocre scene and a convincing one. It can create the kind of scene which envelops your product in a mood and draws the viewer in. And that’s what you want, right?
My name is Colin Dutton, I’m a commercial photographer originally from London but I’ve lived in Italy for the past 20 years. I’m specialized in interior photography so I work a lot for architects, design companies, hotels and luxury real estate. I’m lucky to live in a beautiful part of the world and Venice is on my doorstep so I find myself here quite often, photographing in these amazing properties. This project is based in Palazzo Garzoni - a 15th-Century palace on the Grand Canal that’s recently been renovated becoming very exclusive and beautifully finished.
Want to boost your online presence with some videos and stories from your kitchen? The secret is not only the right recipes, but also the right gear to shoot smooth content.
One of the most popular food shots is the 90° top-down point of view shot, which is very easy to achieve by using a tripod with the vertical column that also goes horizontal. The best companion for this type of content could be a tripod form the Manfrotto 055 series and, of course, the right background for the perfect lighting.
For the past few days, there has only been one topic everybody in the imaging world is talking about: the new Canon announcement for the R5 and R6.

Tripods and tripod heads for new Canon R5 and R6 First up, the Canon R5. The standout feature here is that it is as powerful for video as it is for still pictures.
