Nail Salon
Tiny details, perfect lighting, satisfying motions — twenty shots that make hands the hero of every photo.
Eight pages of training, then 20 scenarios for nail salon.
Every guide opens with the universal photo training. Then we get specific — each scenario shows three different camera angles you can copy on set.
