In this video I look at how to create dark and moody food photographs utilising styling, props, the inverse square law, and lighting modification.
Food photography is an ever growing commercial industry, and although this style is not popular int he commercial world yet, it is very popular for social media and some brands are starting to move their work this way.
To create this Dark moody food photography lighting set up, you can use anything from a window and tracing paper through to a professional studio lighting kit.

Here is a great link about the inverse square law en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse...

How about eliminating ambient light and then slowly build up artificial lighting. Add flags & reflectors. With this method you can be the controller of color & tone.

Great content dude. Love all of it, from your Fstoppers editorials to these videos. No idea how you do it all, but keep up the good work. Can't wait to see your brand grow my man! P.s. your portfolio is sick!!!

One of the things I love about your videos is that you are very much of the “teach a person to fish” mindset. I always come away with things to think about and apply elsewhere.

Excellent and very precise tutorial but the background music is quite loud and irritating.

As a food photographer, you can do this..or just get an even exposure and dodge and burn. You will always want shadow detail, so you know its there. Once its black, its gone. Before editing just be sure your background is 1-2 stops darker and your contrast ratio is 1 to 3 to start with. Hollywood creates dark and moody often, while having a full histogram. "capture light in camera-create shadow in post."

Did I understand that correctly: because of the inverse square law you got your light pretty close to the pumpkins so that there is a strong fall off of the light and the ratio between highlights and shadow areas is strong?

Hey man just to give you a tip, you can run USB hubs if you don't have enough ports. I hate mac for that lol. I do however use a 4 port USB extender. What I REALLY hate mac for is not having the ability to run second monitors without buying some silly 3rd part cable..

Good video, thanks once again.However, I missed the use of the grid close to the subject in this scenario. Would love to see that applied. Thanks.

Good one. A longer shot of the final image at the end would be nice, because it's only up for a second before the promo windows cover up a bunch of it at the very end of the video, and that's the shot we want to see the most. I'm looking forward to the editing video.
