Ooh, good question. Do you mean how to cook and shoot yourself? A good solid tripod, and the timer function on your camera or phone are your friends in those situations. And a lot of patience! Just take your time with it - that’s the biggest bonus when you are working solo, there isn’t any rush. Good luck!

Thanks Mark, not panicking is always the key isn’t it? It took me a long time to learn to slow down and focus on these kind of high pressure shoots, so hopefully the check list will be useful to anyone who finds themselves similarly ‘rabbit in headlights’!

Very interesting read - I can’t watch the video as I’m waiting on an appointment but that’s such a great check list to keep your mind engaged (rather than panicking) when in what is often a high energy/speed situation
