Small Details Make All The Difference
In food photography, the small details make all the difference, every element you add tells your story. In this shot we started with the bowls, added the cloth, the cutlery, the sprinkle of seeds and rocket, the jug of olive oil for context, and finally the perfect hand shot (because who wouldn’t want to eat this!?) We spent time taking several shots of different hand poses to see what worked best with the angle, the light and the food. Find me here: • foodphotographyacademy.co • IG: @lauren.c.short

APERTURE
APERTURE The aperture diaphragm is an opening in a lens. It controls how much light passes through onto the camera’s sensor by changing how wide its opening is. The aperture setting adjusts the size of this opening, and it’s measured in “f-stops”. Ready to take manual mode to the next level? Check out my e-course Manual Mode Master!

Behind the Scenes Lighting Setup for Food Photography
For me, one of the best ways to learn how to do something, is to SEE someone do it, step by step, and then be able to try it out myself, and tweak as I go. It just makes more sense when you can see the whole picture (no pun intended), including the setup around the final shot. When I was thinking about my new course, Food Exposed, all about artificial lighting (coming on Monday!), I knew that as well as teaching you all the ins and outs of flash like the technical setup, the gear, how to set exposure etc... I wanted to give you more. So I decided to include 8 shoots in completely different lighting styles (a little preview above!) to take you behind the scenes of my flash setup for each one. Included is: * A low-key dark and moody shot * Overhead (flatlay) lighting * A high-key b
