In this course you are going to shoot 3 short food photography assignments and receive feedback on your lighting . In a recent survey of food photographers from all over the world about what kind of light they would choose to shoot with over 90% said artificial light Food is one of the easiest subjects to take a bad picture off. Just watch as people take out their phones the next time your at a restaurant and you’ll know why . They find that the light in the restaurant is all wrong, its to uneven or to hard, the colour all wrong ,and when you move the food or plate its even worse ! Good food photography requires an eye for detail, an ability to bring out the textures and create a sense of appetite appeal . There are thousands of food photography courses and they all teach one thing - How to Photograph Food using daylight. However putting up a reflector or two is not going to help you shoot for real food clients on real jobs. Learning the actual art of Lighting Food using Artificial light takes time but we will show you the essential skills that I have used as a Professional Food and Drink Photographer for over 25 years. Daylight is beautiful , it’s useful because it’s always there. It’s found everywhere so you don’t have to bring pesky lights with you -but it has its limits. Daylight is 100% dependent on where you are shooting, the season and even time of day determine the light you will get to work with. Daylight can bring two much contrast for food or in some cases offer only flat and lifeless light. you can not control the angle that daylight enters your studio and as a photographer you don’t want to have to change the angle of your set every few hours as the daylight moves around your building. Photographing with Daylight outdoors is a disaster for food because you get no real direction to the light - its all over and makes for poor pictures. light in the natural environment can be controlled by not to the same level as artificial lights in the studio I take if that you enjoy being creative and working with your camera, and that you know a lot of stuff already about how your camera works. we will test you knowledge in our \"stuff you know all ready\" Quiz just to check. Maybe you are a perfectionist -that’s ok, you’ll want to know the best way to do something. Perhaps you even want to go fro amateur to being a pro Photographer. We will discuss the different types of lights that you can use for Food Photography some of which you might not be aware of and we will do video demos using them In the studio.We will not get to hung up on the science or principles of lighting, you will only learn the stuff you will need “on set” , stuff that is practical. You will be asked to do three shoots, and submit three shots , one from each , we will provide feedback on those. By the end we hope that you will “Think Differently about Lighting for Food Photography” I have a Masters in Photography and I have thought students on Hons degree in Photography and Film and the time given over to this important topic is usually limited , mostly in my opinion because the teachers don’t know how enough about lighting. Despite the emergence of digital photography the one that hasn’t changed is the need for something to look good using lighting. That will never change . The photographers who do something different gain higher visibility for their work . If you want to be a professional or create looking professional results , you will want to control everything about picture making. Using your own lights means you decide on the lighting effects you want . Using your own lighting means your results are repeatable every time. Using your own lighting means consistent results from shot to shot. Using your own lighting means you can be more confident in any situation Controlling light is probably the most important skill you will need. Learning to become more aware of light starts now and we will give examples to help and speed ups that education along the way. The lighting is not something you can change later in photoshop or retouching , it’s something you do at the time of making the image . The best Retoucher will tell you that getting the lighting right especially when combining images is the most important thing they want from us photographers . Those first decisions you make when lighting something determine most of how the pictures will turn out for better or worse .
