📸 The Art of Lighting in Food Photography 📸

Podcast Interview with Great Big Photography World - GBPW

This interview was a lot of fun!

For Francesco, lighting is the cornerstone of exceptional food photography. He discusses how mastering lighting techniques can transform a simple dish into a visual masterpiece. Drawing from his portrait photography experience, Francesco uses lighting to highlight textures and colors, making the food look as appetizing as possible. This skill, combined with his artistic eye, ensures that every dish he photographs in New York City restaurants stands out and entices viewers.

Lighting is the cornerstone of great food photography. Without mastering it, even the best compositions and editing can't save your photos. In New York City, where culinary photography is thriving, the first lesson for any aspiring food photographer is to understand light.

Natural light can be a great start. Position your subject near a window, but make sure the sunlight is diffused. This creates a soft light that enhances the texture and details of the food. Alternatively, investing in simple lighting equipment can help you control the light, making your restaurant photography sessions more predictable and flexible.
