Food Photography for Beginners: Embracing Natural Light

“During the lessons I taught you all the secrets to create perfect natural light photographs, now it's your turn! Follow these basic steps to complete your project. Don't just copy my example, but experiment and invent something new. First, choose the subject and identify the story you want to tell.

Then, analyze the light entering the room at the time you have chosen for your shots and make a light pattern. At this point, select the props and set up the set. Once you've set up your set, define your framing and shoot your subject. Have fun creating alternative images and take any contributions. Finally, postproduce your photographs and edit them to get the result you want. Now share the photos on the forum! Show everyone both the final result and the processing steps, documenting each step with an image and describing what you did with a brief explanation.

Look at the projects of colleagues and encourage them by commenting on what they have shared: do not miss the precious opportunity to interact with the creative community. Thanks again for making this journey with me! ”
