Five tips to improve your food photography, and recommendations for the best equipment, cameras and lenses to use.
I'll show you how to use simple natural light to flatter your food. How to compose images in a range of environments. How to chooses a lens. And I go through what I've learnt through doing my own food photography and photographing my own cookbooks. I'll also go through what equipment I use, my camera and lenses and what I would suggest for someone starting out.
