3 Simple Steps to Improve Your Nigerian Food Photos
I will preface this by saying I am no expert. I will be sharing a few simple tips that you can apply to up your photos.
Lets get into it.
Natural Light is King
Whenever possible, shoot with natural light. Next to a window, next to a door. Natural light really cannot be matched when it comes to food photography.
I typically try to shoot most of my photos in natural light. In current location daylight varies greatly depending on time of the year.
- Shortest day – December – 9am to 5pm – 8 hours
- Longest day – June – 5am to 9pm – 16 hours
I try to plan my shoots around this. My artificial light shooting is not that great (I have not taken time to learn 😁)
If you are unable to shoot during the day (because life), you need to know some basics
For most food photos, anything under 5000k (yellow light) is a no-no. You want your indoor or artificial light to be as close to day light as possible – 6500k
Rice & stew – Warm light
