5 Creative Food Photography Lighting Setups using just ONE Reflector

Рет қаралды 142,083

Күн бұрын

In this video, I show you how you can create 5 unique food photography lighting setups using just one 5 in 1 reflector and a few white foam boards. In the spirit of our gear obsessed culture, which I myself am no exception, I wanted to challenge myself to create at least 5 creative lighting scenarios using only one modifier that most of us probably already own.
Hope this helps or inspire you to start creating with whatever you've got already!

Just watched this vid and found it has the same quality as your other vids. This is the former commercial photog and food photog's assistant. If you look at the late 1977-79 issues of Commercial Photography magazine from Japan, you will see how the Japanese food photogs built and lit their sets. Bloody incredible use of diffusion material and lights and very similar to your approach. And observing natural light is very important. Nice work, figandlight.

Do you have any video or suggestions about that? Thank you 🙏
