Bookstore
Pages, lamplight, quiet discovery — twenty photos for a shop made for slow camera moves and warm light.
Eight pages of training, then 20 scenarios for bookstore.
Every guide opens with the universal photo training. Then we get specific — each scenario shows three different camera angles you can copy on set.
