If you’re just getting started with food photography, you probably have some questions. I certainly did. There are countless ways to set up a beautiful shot of a meal or enticing ingredient. Where to start?
This three-part series will focus on how to light food for photographs. We’ll start with natural light since it is the most abundant and affordable light source. Many successful food photographers create stunning images using only natural light. Next, we will consider continuous lights, ranging from incandescent bulbs at home to tunable LEDs. Finally, we’ll take a look at the many possibilities that strobe lights can introduce to your food photos.
Gear for Food Photography
If you’re serious about food photography, or photography in general, then you most likely own a camera already. Many new smart devices can work for food photography, as well. The only requirement for the camera itself is that it can capture in manual mode. This is crucial. You don’t want the camera making decisions for you. It doesn’t have to be a top-of-the-line camera, but you want as much control as you can get. I’ll be shooting images with a Nikon Z7, but a Nikon Z30 would work just as well here.
