📸 Avoid Front Lighting in Food Photography 📸

Podcast Interview with Great Big Photography World - GBPW

This interview was a lot of fun!

One common mistake in food photography is using front lighting. This approach, often seen when people use their phone's flashlight at restaurants, flattens the image and loses texture. In professional culinary photography, lighting should come from the side or behind the subject.

This technique highlights the food's details and creates a more appealing image. For any food photographer in New York, understanding and avoiding front lighting is a fundamental skill that elevates the quality of their work.
