Nice Video.
Could you do a video on how to set a certain mood? for example candles and soft light to infer a romantic or elegant situation? I think I got the basic idea down but I would love to see how you would approach the topic. I want to shoot a wine bottle and glass setup with grapes and moisture drops on the bottle.
I love to do Black and White Photography but all my clients want color. I got my start in photography developing black and white film and making prints only now with digital it is way easier (also less messy and smelly) and shooting Raw gives you a ton of adjustment in photoshop.
Thank you so much for this!
If your camera has a B&W shooting mode, where you can see in B&W, you can use that while composing and setting up the lights to see the tones… then when that looks right, switch back to the color and see the difference, or try and see the tones in color…
Light, Sciences, & Magic is the BEST photography book EVER. Every single photographer should own and read this book.
Thanks Joanie. I ordered the book. I’m enjoying my learning curve about photography and light, but I’m wrestling with haze and glare. The cookbook images I love the most seem to be perfectly clean, with no glare or extraneous light “noise”. Is this only possible in a windowless room with carefully controlled lights, or can these images be made with natural lighting? I want my food to really pop, without being overly contrasted.
