Joanie, your lessons make me fall in love with food photography 😍 You have real gift explaining things clearly and well comprehensible even for a beginner. Thanks for sharing!
This is phenomenal! I own a marketing collective focused on mentoring, equipping, and launching young professionals in the industry, and my youngest subcontractor ever is a photographer whom I've assigned to our biggest restaurant client's food photography. Having been involved and around photography for the last 20 years I have enough of a grasp that while my focus with this photographer is her client management, contracts, and business, I have enough general knowledge to also help her level up her photography. You're an invaluable resource to both of us and our clients. Thank you!
I'm doing food photography for the first time in a week, images for a menu of an Indonesian restaurant. These look like good tips, I'll incorporate them, thanks for sharing :)
I really love that she's genuinly interested into viewing our work or tell her how we used her tricks by leaving a comment or sharing pics on a link. She really means it because if you follow her on instagram, she always share things that people tag her into and she looks really thrilled. Unlike the vast majority of influencers (I do not mean that she's an influencer), she doesn't really want you to leave a comment only for her stats but because she means it, she's really interested into reading what people did.
I've been binge watching your videos recently because im starting to film recipe videos and I can just say I love your videos so much! They are very informative, easy to watch and I somehow like how your personality comes across in the videos, like a mix of funny and chill, just interesting to listen to. Thank you for making this great and helpful content. Greetings from Germany 💕
Your videos are fantastic and its like you are reading my mind when I have a question because you answer it almost as soon as I have it! Thank you for all of the wonderful content!!!
You are amazing, I LOVE ALL YOUR TIPS, but mostly, YOUR GREAT ENERGY! Keep it up! I'm starting my new journey, I have decided to transition from a graphic designer to a Food Photographer and you (with maybe 2-3 other) UA-camrs, are my "Jedis". MUCHAS GRACIAS AMIGA!
hi Joanie, I liked what you are doing and trying to learn more and more from your tips. I am a beginner in food and product photography, so I am trying to do my best and follow your instructions.
Hello, just got to know about your page, and let me tell you it is awesome. I love food photography and I love the fact that you are a chef that focuses so much on making food look so delicious from a picture. I have recently started writing about my passion for food photography and let me tell you it is awesome that I found your page. I like taking picture of every food not only things like pasta or pizza because I believe that a person with a good photography skill can actually make anything look appetizing. People do not understand how important lighting is when taking pictures. Sometimes you have to create things such as your trick of putting oil on olives to make it glossy, likewise I sometimes like to sprinkle some water on my apples when I am taking shots of some fruits. The second trick is actually what I was more interested in, I loved the idea of fall-off and I will surely try this on my next photography sessions. It’s not always a studio with perfect equipment that matter but the skills that make a picture reflect perfection. Having a good angle, good lighting and good editing skills can take a simple picture to a professional looking one.
I totally agree with you that perfect photography can make a lot of common food look delicious. I also sometimes pour some water on the fruit to make it look shiny. Also, this is the first time I learned about the photography technique called fall-off. Here, I would like to share some of my photography skills with you. First, I often resort to artificial light, which I think is a good option. I often photograph food indoors, but sometimes the indoor lighting is very dim. This causes my photos to look dark and unappetizing. I often put a fill light behind the food. If the light is very bright, you can use tissue paper to cover the light so that the photo will be softer. Second, we can use "portrait mode" when shooting with our mobile phones. Portrait mode will bokeh our background and focus on the food we want to photograph. This will make the photo look layered. As for the fall-off technique, I haven't tried it yet. After I try, can we talk to each other?
Hi @thebiteshot , recently I become an unofficial food photographer 😂 for my sister’s restaurant! I dont knw anything about photography. But, Thanks to your channel i can learn something about it.
For anyone looking for a better explanation of "fall off", look up an explanation of the inverse square law. Great video! I've recently took an interest in food photography after Kenji posted a video on how he takes photos for his recipes. Coming from automotive photography, it's fun learning something new!
As always, incredibly helpful. So much inspiration here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. So looking forward to meeting you in person in EDM this year. Cheers!
Very nice! Wonderful and subtle lighting tips. These can even be used beyond food! BTW, your channel is great, Joanie. Such a fresh perspective with a positive vibe. I've been photographing food for years but love watching your videos. There's always something new to learn, and a little bit of inspiration and motivation can go a long way, even for those of us who may already have the "hang of things" :)
When you are doing light falloff in background with food photos, what apertures do you recommend. Very shallow at F2.8 or f5.6 as opposed to f11 with studio lights. Is this with natural light and shallow depth or studio light?
Another good video. Thank you. Since I often worked in a fairly cramped 'studio' I usually use flags between the light source and the background to create fall off. It creates a nice dramatic feel and gives depth that I like
This is a pretty basic question, but I would love is someone could answer: Whenever taking pics with a diffuser in a window. Are you expecting the light to come straight to what is being photographed or just a part of the light (let's say that its midday and it doesnt get straight into the subject)?
Wish I saw this years ago very useful. I’ve been doing a lot of similar things and I’ve never known what to call it but this is a great video for beginners awesome job.
Sadly I rarely get food products to shoot for clients, but all your lighting and setup techniques can be applied to all kinds of product- tabletop photography. Thanks Joanie, your enthusiasm is infectious !! :)
Now that’s how you do a video. Straight to the point, short intro/outro, and nothing unnecessary. 💚
I love your work/ideas/instructions😀👍👍
What a beautiful lady with a kind soul. Really enjoyed this video.

Hi Joanie, may i know why you used the octa softbox instead of the rectangle softbox?
Ty😊
Hi! I've discovered your channel recently and I think there're many helpful suggestions, more than others. Thanks, I'm curious to see al your videos!!
Wow great tips! Doing my first food shoot next week, glad to have found your channel just in time :)
Just discovered you today. Time to catch up with every single video you ever made :) x
This is a pretty basic question, but I would love is someone could answer:
Whenever taking pics with a diffuser in a window. Are you expecting the light to come straight to what is being photographed or just a part of the light (let's say that its midday and it doesnt get straight into the subject)?
It will come straight through the window. However big the window is, the window will create a glow
Beautiful job
I love your enthusiasm
