We invited Daniela Zondag, a food photographer and friend living in Stellenbosch, http://www.danielazondagh.com for a few lessons in filming products. Daniela focused on the textures with her gorgeous lighting and played with focus and depth. Many of the images are on the current website and of my favourite are these four. Daniela is touring Namibia and I am enjoying being wrapped up in my wool!   http://danielazondagh.com/
