I am no expert on food photography but I try to be good at it. I just wanted to share information among my peers on what I have read and picked up from the world wide web. Moreover, also to share some experience I had on food photography. I hope this little hands-on experience we had will encourage them more on this area of photography.
Here are some points I've shared:
- Quality and Direction of Light
- Quality - soft light would be ideal to lessen the hard shadows that can be created by a single light source like the sun.
- Direction of Light (Side Light) - usually this gives shape to the subject.
- Direction of Light (Back Light) - this reveals the texture of the subject.
- White Balance - it's important to get the right white or the color temperature of light for pleasing and true-to-life colors of the subjects.
- Composition - basically how the subject would look good and the props that will compliment the main subject. It's easier said than done.
Well, there goes some of the tips that I was able to share. Here are some of my shots from that night.

After the mini food photography session, some of the subjects became dinner and dessert.
