About the final project for: Introduction to Food Photography with Natural Light

Introduction to Food Photography with Natural Light

“We've reached the end of this course! I want to thank you for joining me on this course and to have the courage to dive in and be open to learning new things. It is now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the photoshoot you started while completing the exercises or you could start a brand new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell me if you have any doubts. This will help me understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. Review the equipment list and materials you will need. Create a mood board with images that inspire you. You will need one for your image in indirect daylight and one for the image in direct sunlight.

Sketch your scenes (in a simple way), so you have an outline to work towards.
Prepare your surfaces, props and food components.
Take your pictures! Make sure to enjoy the process, reset if you are unhappy, and keep it simple.
Once you are done, edit your images with Photoshop tools to enhance your work.
I am excited to see what you have created! Don’t forget to share your project on the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". I will respond to your posts and questions as soon as possible. In the meantime, I encourage you to take a look at what others created for this project and comment on their posts, too. Thank you for trusting me and I hope to hear from you soon!”
