Food photography advice

[Sharps]

Morning

I was approached by a local baker to do some shots of her baked goods, mainly cakes and deserts. Its not something i have turned my hand to a lot over the years, any tips regarding lenses, setup and composition etc?

YouTube is your friend here Tony. There are lots of ideas and tutorials using both natural and artificial light.

I prefer using artificial as I find with daylight constantly changing it makes it harder to keep any consistency in your shots.

I've only ever played at it though; I've never done any serious work in this area so certainly couldn't offer any advice.

Thanks for the info Trevor, I will take a look at youtube later today

This is a good channel. She can be a bit irritating but there’s some good info within the video library.

Thanks, she gave me some great ideas but you are right, she can be irritating
