It might be 32C outside, but Harriet Fuller has a canny plan to bring the temperature down. She’s aiming to quench our thirst with her trademark drinks photography – a genre that has been in high demand over the past couple of years since the reopening of restaurants, pubs and cafes after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fuller (or Harriet as she prefers to be known due to her online handle @harrietmedia) first picked up a camera when a friend offered her a Sony A6600 to experiment with. Now, a few years and many YouTube videos later, Harriet is equipped with a Sony A7 III and a small arsenal of lenses to help her deliver content for social media, websites and marketing campaigns for food and drinks businesses along the south coast of England. One sunny morning in mid-June, Harriet invited Digital Camera to Weymouth in Dorset to witness first-hand how she goes about her product photography.
Solid advice for steady shots
“My tripod is an indispensable tool and an integral piece of kit,” says Harriet. “It adds stability and precision to my photographs, especially when capturing motion like my iced drinks. Its ability to eliminate camera shake results in sharper and clearer images. By providing a solid base, a tripod allows for longer exposure times, enabling stunning lowlight shots and beautiful landscapes.
