#81 - Take your lighting to the next level in food photography

My Food Lens

Have you ever taken a photo and thought -

“Ughh! that looks dull”

“Why does my photo look flat”

“That food does not look delicious”

“Why doesn’t my photo pop”

“Ok, that looks good but I wish it was better”

“Gosh! I did everything right but there’s still something missing”

Truth is, 90% of the time that missing factor in our photos is the light.

Most of us understand the basics of lighting in food photography but we are forever striving to take it to the next level.

We are constantly working on building a better understanding of light and honing our technique so we can create more impactful and eye-catching food photos.

But what does it take to create next-level lighting in our photos?

How do we tell whether the light in our photos is powerful enough?

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing simple yet powerful techniques to take the lighting in our food photography to the next-level.

I share some key considerations that can skyrocket the way we work with light & double the power of our photos by working with light in a very intentional way.

In this episode, we go beyond lighting-101. It’s about thinking about light and working with it the way most professionals and experienced photographers do.

I’m sure you’ve heard enough times that light is everything in food photography. In fact, I keep repeating that in food photography we don’t need great composition but we always need great lighting.

It doesn’t matter whether we work with artificial light or natural light, whether it's soft light or harsh light, once we have a solid grip on technique, it applies to anything and everything we create.

This episode will give you insights into what to look for when you feel there's something missing in your photo. It will also help you look at light differently. It will help you get intimate with your light and really create a photo that meets your vision.

We all want to create next-level photos and one of the most essential ways to get there is to deepen our understanding of light.
