Kusuka ezithombeni zezithombe kuya kubhulogi
Ungase uphuphe mayelana nezithombe zakho ezivela kumkhankaso olandelayo we-Whole Foods noma esikhwameni somagazini we-Food & Wine, ukuhlaziya ngamakhobi amakhulu emhlabeni jikelele, nokuhlwaya izitsha ezimangalisayo nokuphuza usuku lonke ngenkathi ugcwalisa i-akhawunti yakho yasebhange. Lokho kuzwakala kumnandi, kodwa kubonisa kuphela ukuthi uyaphila kwe-iceberg. Kubaningi bethu abathwebuli bezithombe kukhona ukudlala okunye nokuklama okudingekayo ukwenza imali nomsebenzi wethu.
Kulolu chungechunge oluthathu, ngizokukhombisa ukuthi abathwebuli bezithombe bangaphila kanjani nezithombe ze-photoshoots noma baxoxe ngomsebenzi wakho kanye nekhono ngokusebenzisa ama-workshops, amakilasi, ama-gigs noma ukubhuloga.

Kunzima ukuza futhi umsebenzi ungathola kancane isikhathi eside. Nginezinkampani ezimbalwa ezangiqashile njengezithombe ezifunayo ngaphakathi kwezindlu. Ngangena ehhovisi labo kanye ngesonto (noma inyanga) futhi nginakekele izidingo zabo zezithombe. Kunamalungiselelo amaningi namakhasimende amakhulu ahlinzeka ukuzinza nokuguquguquka komthwebuli wezithombe. Kungcono ukuxoxisana ngemali yokugcina noma yenyanga yenyanga, ukuze ububanzi, isabelomali, kanye nesikhathi sesikhathi senziwe ngokuthuthukisiwe.
Ama-Photoshoots wokuhlela
Umagazini wokudla njengo-Food & Wine, Bon Appétit, FineCooking, noma Ukuhlanza, ukubiza abambalwa, ukuqasha abathwebuli bezithombe ngezikhathi zonke ukudubula zokupheka, zokudla, noma izenzakalo zokuphrinta nokushicilelwa kwabo kwi-intanethi. Ungakhohlwa mayelana nokuhweba okuncane nezincwadi ze-niche. Amapulatifomu e-intanethi afana ne-Epicurious, SeriousEats, no-Food52, noma ama-giants afana ne-New York Times anomfuneko wokugcina izithombe zokudla.
Izabelo zokuhlela ziningi kodwa ngokuvamile, zinamabhajethi amancane. Noma kunjalo, banikeza inkululeko yokudala futhi bathuluzi lokukhangisa kakhulu. Abaqondisi bezobuciko nabathengi banakekele imigqa yezikweletu futhi bavame ukuqoqa amagama okukhangisa namanye amahlumela ezentengiselwano.
Ama-Photoshoot ezitolo
Kusuka emakethe amakhulu okudla kuya endaweni yokudlela yangakini, wonke umuntu ensimini yamakholishi (nangaphezulu) udinga izithombe zokudla ngekhwalithi ngokuqhubekayo. Ukukhangisa kudinga ukuba kube okusha, imenyu ebuyekeziwe, nezindawo zokuxhumana zenhlalo zilambile kokuqukethwe. Uma nje uqala ukubuka izindawo zokudlela zendawo, abakhiqizi bokudla, nezimboni. Zethule futhi ubone ukuthi unesidingo nesabelomali kumasevisi akho. Uma ukwandisa umsebenzi wakho futhi ufinyelela imikhiqizo emikhulu kuyofika iphuzu uma udinga ukucabangela ukuqasha i-ejenti ukukusiza ngokufinyelela kwakho, ukumaketha kanye nokuxoxisana.
Ukufundisa
Uma ujabulela ukufundisa nokuhlanganyela izingxenye zobuchwepheshe nezokubukeka kwezithombe thola isikole sezithombe, uhlelo lwekolishi, isikole samakholishi, noma inhlangano yezokudla ehlinzeka (noma kufanele inikele) amakilasi okudla izithombe.
