The Dispensary

One good idea for your book photos, every week.

A short letter from the editors: something to try at the window, something to look for on the shelf, and some words that worked.

In every letter

Three things, each one usable the same day.

  1. The recipe

    A shot recipe

    One setup, written out: where the light comes from, where the book sits, and the prop that finishes it.

  2. The find

    A prop worth finding

    Something small that earns its place on the table, and where to look for it without spending much.

  3. The words

    A caption that worked

    A caption pulled apart line by line, so you can see why it made readers stop and reply.

How often

Every week.

Once a week, short enough to read with your coffee. No daily emails, no countdown sales.
