1. Use a higher aperture setting when shooting objects in movement to avoid blurry images: (02:05)
Our aperture was a little too low, so we didn't really get too much in focus and it was blurry at first.

2. Create interesting lighting effects with no budget: (02:52)
The first thing is this LED flashlight, which is super-duper bright. Um, I use this a lot. It's not a professional photo light, it doesn't need to be. I've got a pile of gelatin filters and they come in handy. You could put them in front of the lens and stuff like that. And I don't know, make some weird stuff happen. 

3. Make minor color adjustments to perfect your photos: (03:42)
So it was a little tricky and it took me forever, but I lined it all up like that and I put the Rubik's cube down. So it was like bleeding out, you know?. Rips like that. And I just thought it looked really sweet. I had to make a couple of color adjustments to the yellow because the yellows were a bit off. As you can see, it was a little bit darker, so I changed the hues just slightly. And I was able to pull it off pretty nicely. 

4. Use stock photography as a prop for your client products: (04:11)
There's my chopsticks. So I was like, I don't have any noodles so I found an image on the internet that I really thought was cool and minimal.
