My first professional job as a full time photographer was actually as a food photographer. In this video I will give you some tips to improve your own food photography without having to buy fancy lights or camera gear. You'll also meet my friend Vla who is a health and fitness guru and he'll be doing the cooking and helping us with the styling. I hope this helps you get better shots of your dishes.

I just stumbled on your site, at the suggestion of my photographer husband, and it is WONDERFUL! I love how practical your tips are, even for a fairly new photographer. Very easy to understand and super inspiring! I love that you emphasize you don't always need super fancy equipment to capture beautiful photos. Amazing content; THANK YOU!
This is EXACTLY why I love your videos. So in-depth yet so simple to follow and understand! Thank you as always. Also loved the comparison of pics with different cameras. Would have loved to learn more about styling.
You have to be the clear and straight forward photography guru i have ever heard. You say everything that we need to hear, nothing, ambiguous or assuming that we know already. well done you! onwards........
Helpful and inspiring as ever, Sean. Particularly love how you utilize available light, improvised light modifiers, and less than fancy gear. Very encouraging, makes me want to experiment with the genre myself.
Really love your videos Sean. I stumbled on them a few days ago (Editing Color was the first one) and it really changed the way i'm looking at the pictures I'm trying to take. I also realised I had already seen some of your videos about Product Photography a few years back and I remember taking so many tips from it back then, while I was working on 3d lighting product shots. Thanks so much for being such an inspirational photographer and genuine human being.
One word: Excellent! I love the simplicity, thank you to you both!
Very helpful video! For me personally, using natural light is the best and easiest way to improve any food photo
Thank you so much. This just appeared in my feed as I'm looking to learn better food photography skills for my China Instagram. What I love is that it's a genuine video raw and not overproduced. Humble with useful information that I can see. You also make it accessible and relatable to me. I'm starting with my phone cameras. Once I hit an Insta milestone I will upgrade to a decent old Cannon as you have shown. And I love the comparison of the phone to the cameras and how to do light and dark photography. So I felt so warm and moved by this lovely video that I joined.
all in the preparation! thanks for showing your approach.The pointers about controlling light and shade are very helpful.
Top info, mister! The value that you present never ceases to amaze me.
I feel like having a tripod helps alot in this scenario because you can use a longer shutter speed which results in better control of your exposure. Thanks for this video Sean!
Amazing video Sean! I love your style and the way that you show everything. Thank you very much for sharing all these amazing knowledge with us!! Cheers
Thank you for sharing. I can totally relate to this - started photographing food just a few month ago, using similar improvised methods. ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent video Sean thank you very much for sharing this. Food photography has been an interest of mine for a while so this really resonates with me. You and your friend make a great team. Great job on putting all this content together.
thx Sean for this video, been trying to find some insight on food photography, now i found it !!
Another brilliant video with great tips. This is the first video of yours I’ve actively put off watching. I was a chef for 20 years but it ended quite bad and I had to give it up due to having a condition colloquially know as the chef's illness (alcoholism). I’ve purposely avoided almost everything to do with food photography since, even though I’ve been sober for 22 years. Watching this has started me thinking, I know food very well and I’m slowly learning how to press a shutter.
+Mark Harris thanks for sharing that Mark. Maybe it’s time to jump back in on your own terms.
Go for it man. All the best.
Good on you Mark - it can be a tough gig. Go for it though...
You should be very proud of how you've overcome that. Do what your heart desires!
Thanks for sharing- I have a similar story to you (Chef /Owner) Although I don't have the 22 years and it is day to day for me- I have picked up the camera too. (-; Good luck
I find these tips really helpful especially the dark food photography. Thanks for sharing!
Another great video Sean and great food by Vla, thank you for sharing and for all the information please keep it coming.
I am ALL about doing fun shoots at home learning with what you can BEFORE busy expensive equipment... Great tips and video!
thanks a lot for the informative tips! Those dark food photos were incredible😱😍
Great video Sean. It's not an area I've ever really spent any time with, but it's inspiring when you watch someone who really knows what they're doing. Super recipes from Vla too!
All your videos inspire me. You do such a good job. Keep up the good work!
Amazing video, so helpful, thank you for maiking it approachable and informative!
Thank you so much for sharing! I thought this is an excellent, excellent tutorial. I learned so much and Im so excited to try this out!
That's spooky Sean. As you know I follow your blogs, videos, photography etc with great interest and have been thinking recently that I'd like to shoot food. And low and behold you are there once again to offer your insight. Thank you. The food you shot looks delicious and mouthwatering and the photographs were amazing. Tony.
Absolutely gorgeous! Nice intro to food photography! Thanks for the tips!

I enjoyed this video Sean! Thank you! You and your friend are great teachers. I take pictures of my own foods but I am always thinking what if I had this, or that... but you had great tips to create amazing pictures. Oh the food, looks yummy.
Terrific video - visual treat. You explain things simply and don't waste a word. Inspiring.
Great video and wonderful ideas to apply without an expensive gear. Thanks a lot Sean!!
Sean...you are one of the most insprational (non-pretentious) photographers that I have seen on UA-cam. You are a pleasure to watch. The tips you provide really do help me to improve my photography (which I have been doing for over 20 years). Every day is a school day!
Andrew McAlpine totally agree!! Love this channel.

Thanks mate:)

Woah! This channel has blown up so much as it’s supposed to. I was here around 30k. Great job, Sean!
Wonderful food and excellent photography and teaching. Many thanks both.
Can't decide if I came to the video for the tips on food photography or for the recipes now haha
The great thing is you don't have to choose:)
@@seantuck Did the link to the recipes get removed? I can't find it anywhere - the cake looks delicious!
Amazing tutorial, thank you!
very good, amazing shots with such simplicity of gear. Bravo
Your video remains a favorite refrence to review once in a while to refresh my knowledge on food photography 💕
awesome video and photos as usual! i wasn't into food photography but now it seems delicious to work at:)
Excellent as always Sean
I'm working on a personal project and I'm shooting still life. The lighting principles work. Thanks.
Ommmmggggg I learned so much. Thank you!
Great Video ! Thank you 🙏🏻
I love your vids. Well done Sean .
Great one, great tips, thank you for sharing !
Finaly someone who shares my experience... It's all about styling!
Great video really enjoyed the simplicity and clarity of explanation.
This was very helpful! Great tips to get started
Thanks Sean. You're the best 👍🏽
Great tutorial this dude. Helped a lot thanks! Ps, didn’t realise the dark shots were so easy to do! Thanks again
Great info, thank you for these tips 🙌🏼
Love love love your videos and your demeanor :)
Super practical and super images! Thanks.
Love this! Coincides with me messing about with my Nikon D3300, 50mm/1.8 lens and some chocolate brownies I made. I'll go back now and try out some of your tips. Awesome work Sean.
This is the best beginner food photo tutorial. thank you
Hey Sean.. Amazing video.. Thank you for these amazing contents..!!
Really great video tutorial. It's really pleasant to get some learning resources like these from professional: that goes farther than "hey use this amazing lightroom preset"...
I own a canon 50d with the same 50mm lens you mentioned :)
I found the work you have done excellent! Thank you for sharing these tips with us :)
Very clear and thorough, Sean.
excellent video, tips and food! Thanks!
I know this is not a recent video, but it looks like a fun collaboration. I also have to agree with you on the apsc sensor canon body and the nifty fifty. It's a fantastic combanation that gives you a versital 80 mm or so focal length. I am currently in this configuration. Best of all when I go full frame I have a 50mm f1.8. Another great vid!
i've always wondered how i could improve my food photography, now i know.. Thanks Sean :)
Great job on the video! What backdrop is that for the dramatic cake shot? Looks like a foldable painted background which looks great.
This was so helpful. Thank you
I liked the way you brought out that camera range thing yet again. 5D, 550D or your iphone, you did the job great. Also, it was good to learn how simply we can set up our own budget studio without fancy stuff. Keep going mate, you are amazing!
Nice tutorial and insight into food photography. Thanks
Awesome, straight to the point of topic
This is absolutely what I wanted!
Great tips, Sean! 👍🏽
I've been following you for a while now Sean - love the pace of your pieces, the way you explain stuff in an educational but not patronising way... and most of all the personable and measured way in which you do it. More power to you. This as ever is a super film, and despite the fact I've been photographing for a while, there were still some great tips here for me to devour (excuse the food pun). I have a question about the background you were using though? Love it... it's a mottled ark one... where did you get it? Would like to use it for some street portrait experiments.Happy New Year Sean!
Brilliant video Sean! I usually just snap my lunch with my phone and pop it on Instagram, this has inspired me to put a little more effort in. Your mate's food looks great too. You're knocking it out of the park at the moment with these vids.
Thanks mate:)
Simple. Informative. Inspiring as always
Thank you for the wonderfully done video 💝
super great video!!! thank you!
Very nice - looking forward to the recipes as well.
Excellent Excellent Excellent ..truly I am grateful for such an informative video
This is a great video.Excellent content but also really well presented. Thank you.
This is awesome thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I just started a BBQ channel and I have been having a hard time with the "beauty" shots at the end of our videos. Seeing as we are just starting I didn't want to spend a lot of money. Love that I can use things like a sheet and a piece of foil to improve me shots!
I Love it!!!
great as usual dude. Rock on...
