And old friend of mine and Camera Stupid community member Jonathan Samson hit me up the other day asking for some tips for photographing knives. His cousin owns Scar Blades and creates these beautifully finished, hand-made masterpieces.

P.S. I’ve added a new tab to the main navigation of the Camera Stupid website called “Video.” In this tab you can find my weekly videos with photography tips and tricks, behind the scenes on shoots, and my general wanderings.
