My first professional job as a full time photographer was actually as a food photographer. In this video I will give you some tips to improve your own food photography without having to buy fancy lights or camera gear. You'll also meet my friend Vla who is a health and fitness guru and he'll be doing the cooking and helping us with the styling. I hope this helps you get better shots of your dishes.

I just stumbled on your site, at the suggestion of my photographer husband, and it is WONDERFUL! I love how practical your tips are, even for a fairly new photographer. Very easy to understand and super inspiring! I love that you emphasize you don't always need super fancy equipment to capture beautiful photos. Amazing content; THANK YOU!
This is EXACTLY why I love your videos. So in-depth yet so simple to follow and understand! Thank you as always. Also loved the comparison of pics with different cameras. Would have loved to learn more about styling.
You have to be the clear and straight forward photography guru i have ever heard. You say everything that we need to hear, nothing, ambiguous or assuming that we know already. well done you! onwards........
Another brilliant video with great tips. This is the first video of yours I’ve actively put off watching. I was a chef for 20 years but it ended quite bad and I had to give it up due to having a condition colloquially know as the chef's illness (alcoholism). I’ve purposely avoided almost everything to do with food photography since, even though I’ve been sober for 22 years. Watching this has started me thinking, I know food very well and I’m slowly learning how to press a shutter.

Thanks for sharing- I have a similar story to you (Chef /Owner) Although I don't have the 22 years and it is day to day for me- I have picked up the camera too. (-; Good luck
Helpful and inspiring as ever, Sean. Particularly love how you utilize available light, improvised light modifiers, and less than fancy gear. Very encouraging, makes me want to experiment with the genre myself.
Really love your videos Sean. I stumbled on them a few days ago (Editing Color was the first one) and it really changed the way i'm looking at the pictures I'm trying to take. I also realised I had already seen some of your videos about Product Photography a few years back and I remember taking so many tips from it back then, while I was working on 3d lighting product shots. Thanks so much for being such an inspirational photographer and genuine human being.
One word: Excellent! I love the simplicity, thank you to you both!
Top info, mister! The value that you present never ceases to amaze me.
Very helpful video! For me personally, using natural light is the best and easiest way to improve any food photo
I feel like having a tripod helps alot in this scenario because you can use a longer shutter speed which results in better control of your exposure. Thanks for this video Sean!
Amazing video Sean! I love your style and the way that you show everything. Thank you very much for sharing all these amazing knowledge with us!! Cheers
all in the preparation! thanks for showing your approach.The pointers about controlling light and shade are very helpful.
Thank you so much. This just appeared in my feed as I'm looking to learn better food photography skills for my China Instagram. What I love is that it's a genuine video raw and not overproduced. Humble with useful information that I can see. You also make it accessible and relatable to me. I'm starting with my phone cameras. Once I hit an Insta milestone I will upgrade to a decent old Cannon as you have shown. And I love the comparison of the phone to the cameras and how to do light and dark photography. So I felt so warm and moved by this lovely video that I joined.
Sean...you are one of the most insprational (non-pretentious) photographers that I have seen on KZread. You are a pleasure to watch. The tips you provide really do help me to improve my photography (which I have been doing for over 20 years). Every day is a school day!

Another great video Sean and great food by Vla, thank you for sharing and for all the information please keep it coming.
Thank you for sharing. I can totally relate to this - started photographing food just a few month ago, using similar improvised methods. ❤️❤️❤️
Inspiring, informational, fun. Please keep 'em coming!
I am a food/product photographer for more than a decade, and still I have learned a lot from your video. Thanks for sharing!
Great video Sean. It's not an area I've ever really spent any time with, but it's inspiring when you watch someone who really knows what they're doing. Super recipes from Vla too!
Absolutely gorgeous! Nice intro to food photography! Thanks for the tips!
That's spooky Sean. As you know I follow your blogs, videos, photography etc with great interest and have been thinking recently that I'd like to shoot food. And low and behold you are there once again to offer your insight. Thank you. The food you shot looks delicious and mouthwatering and the photographs were amazing. Tony.
Your videos are always so artful. Thank you for sharing. I don't usually take pictures of my food but I do share a lot about my life on my videos & my Instagram so if I manage to make them look beautiful with your tips, it would be a great thing to add. Thanks for your videos! They inspire me every time. 🙌🏼

When he said "dark food photography is really popular right now" it sounded like dogfood photography to me xD I just thought: what?! Dogfood photography, really? Trends these days... *:-D

Thanks so much for these videos!
Your video remains a favorite refrence to review once in a while to refresh my knowledge on food photography 💕
Brilliant video Sean! I usually just snap my lunch with my phone and pop it on Instagram, this has inspired me to put a little more effort in. Your mate's food looks great too. You're knocking it out of the park at the moment with these vids.

I liked the way you brought out that camera range thing yet again. 5D, 550D or your iphone, you did the job great. Also, it was good to learn how simply we can set up our own budget studio without fancy stuff. Keep going mate, you are amazing!
Can't decide if I came to the video for the tips on food photography or for the recipes now haha

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much! I've done landscape photography, but I'm an enthusiast home cook and I wanted to start with DYI solutions before investing in proper gear/set-up in the future - thank you so much for saving me some $$.

You are so helpful and you've really built my confidence up with using my inexpensive gear.
Hey Sean.. Amazing video.. Thank you for these amazing contents..!!
Thank you for this video!
I really love it that Sean uses older and used gear that's more affordable to photography-beginners than a 5Div or a 1Dx. Oh. I wrote this comment before I read the title of the video.
Super practical and super images! Thanks.
This was very helpful! Great tips to get started
Great tutorial this dude. Helped a lot thanks! Ps, didn’t realise the dark shots were so easy to do! Thanks again
awesome video and photos as usual! i wasn't into food photography but now it seems delicious to work at:)
amazing photoshooting advices ! thank you very very much!!!
Great Video ! Thank you 🙏🏻
I know this is not a recent video, but it looks like a fun collaboration. I also have to agree with you on the apsc sensor canon body and the nifty fifty. It's a fantastic combanation that gives you a versital 80 mm or so focal length. I am currently in this configuration. Best of all when I go full frame I have a 50mm f1.8. Another great vid!
I own a canon 50d with the same 50mm lens you mentioned :) I found the work you have done excellent! Thank you for sharing these tips with us :)
i've always wondered how i could improve my food photography, now i know.. Thanks Sean :)
This is absolutely what I wanted!
Wow just wow.
Excellent as always Sean
Really great video tutorial. It's really pleasant to get some learning resources like these from professional: that goes farther than "hey use this amazing lightroom preset"...
Very clear and thorough, Sean.
Love this! Coincides with me messing about with my Nikon D3300, 50mm/1.8 lens and some chocolate brownies I made. I'll go back now and try out some of your tips. Awesome work Sean.
Simple. Informative. Inspiring as always
Love love love your videos and your demeanor :)
Very nice - looking forward to the recipes as well.
Loved that you Included the photos you used when you were first starting out!!
I love your vids. Well done Sean .
Great info, thank you for these tips 🙌🏼

Dang Sean, I have watched a bunch of food photography videos and then find yours and realize that I could have easily just skipped all the other ones and saved time. Big fan, as you can see, and as a middle-aged introvert, I don't say that lightly. The dark moody photo of the cake is really amazing.
I Love it!!!
