How to Make Your Food Photos POP

In this video, I discuss what makes an image or the subject in that image stand out with a rich sense of dimension and depth in food photography. What makes your food photography stand out? The key is always the light, but how well do we understand its behavior? Tonal variation is all about revealing contour and shape on a subject and how well we understand this, guides our decision on how to set up our food photography lighting and can ultimately result in either a good image or a great image.

    Your videos are underrated. You take me back to school not with the technical jargon. But with the basic simplistic knowledge of lighting. Super important. Great vid!

    Благодарю вас за уроки. Пересматриваю ваши видео по несколько раз. Вроде, говорите о простом, но настолько глубоко и обширно объясняете, что всегда узнаю что-то новое. Очень буду рада вашим новым видео. Продолжайте делать начатое. У вас это получается отлично и по- особенному, игриво и не скучно. Браво❤

    I hope you make a million more videos, very underrated channel. I'm not even interested in food photography and your videos have easily been some of the most educational I've seen. I would like to see you go into excruciating detail on everything. Specifically, applications for every type of diffuser.

    Shot 0:15-0:19 was smart. Showcase you lying on the floor with clearly the camera above you and then the next shot looking up, seemingly showcasing that there’s no camera there. Not sure if anyone else picked up on it but that’s good.

    Really enjoyed this video. I've been binging your videos for the past few days and it shows you have a true passion for teaching and breaking down concepts to manageable pieces while still giving it your own style. My question is for food photography, does it make sense to have a strip grid in a smaller apartment space since it should allow you to separate the background from small objects like food and drinks? I'm trying to make my small apartment work for me...Thanks!

    Thanks Peter! My simple answer is yes. The stripbox with grid is great for small spaces if you still want to create separation in your photos. All the best! Let me know if you have any more questions
