Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me.

So, you’re taking a photo of food and it just doesn’t look right. You wonder what’s missing?  You know something’s not working but can’t put a finger on it. 

 
Well, 90% of the times it is the lighting.

Light is the backbone of a good food photo. 

 Today when social media is flooded with a million food photos, where everyone is trying to create one magnificent composition after another, sometimes the most fundamental aspect of a photo, is overlooked. 

 A good photo does not need to be elaborate in composition, but a good photo must always have good lighting.

 In this episode of the podcast, I bring back the attention to the importance of lighting in photography & the power of being able to harness light to create any mood, emotion, or story. 

We also talk about the different types of light, where they fit in visual storytelling, limited access to light if you have a full-time job, and how it can be maximized.

Whether you are or not into artificial light, this episode suggests ways to reduce the overwhelm around artificial light & guides how to select the right kind of light to match your photography style.
