To avoid round bottle from rolling all over the set, I pick toothpicks on both sides of the bottle so the bottle label stay in place. Toothpicks are small and can be easily hidden under product. They work like magic.
Great video! Tip: Another great use for Kitchen Bouquet is mixing it with water to make fake beverages like coffee, tea, cola (with club soda), whiskey, etc.
It looks so delicious, simple and appetizing. Delicious cooked, I like how simple the recipe is. I will try to cook it with great pleasure, following your instructions.
OMG!! I have just discovered this channel and it is amazing. I am so bad at styling my food shots, usually because I'm in a hurry to actually serve up the dish. Learning so much and hopefully will start actually constructing a set. Glad this video is on pasta as that is what I do... Thanks so much for your amazing insight and all your tips and tricks.
Would you do a video on what all kitchen gear do you in stock? I mean plates, bowls, silverware, cutting boards etc. etc. How much of your own stuff do you keep and how much do you source as a shoot demands?
Thrift stores are a great source of props. You are at the mercy of what is available on any given day, but over time you can build up a collection far below retail prices. I find quality dishes and bowls like Crate and Barrel, West Elm, etc., one or two at a time. Also, vintage kitchen utensils have lots of character after a bit of cleaning.
I'm working on product photography (not food) and this is really helpful. I learned real quick that propping with adhesive tack or with wedges was A THING that I was going to need. I'm using recyclables right now since my studio is at my work and we go through so much cardboard and foam.
Just discovered your channel. You're a GREAT communicator, your videos are a pleasure to watch, apart from containing tons of real tips. Subscribed! :-)
im so happy I found your channel! love your videos. I just painted my own backgrounds tonight. this video will help with my styling tomorrow. thanks for sharing!!
Great ideas & here's another. I keep my props in a cheap tackle box. Saves time and you're not hunting all over the kitchen or wherever for your bag 'a tricks. And thanks for all your videos!
In case this helps people building their kit on a budget, I was able to find the following items at the dollar store: - Plates & Cups & Bowls of various styles - silverware (and other kitchen utensils/supplies) - Toothpicks - q-tips (tho not the makeup ones) - makeup sponges/wedges - paint brushes - spray bottle - plastic bin to keep kit in And there might be other useful stuff there too depending on what you are doing. Don't be afraid to go cheap on some things, because as long as it looks good on camera that's all that matters.
Thank you for your tips, love it so much. Been a chef for 10 years and now planning to move on from my four wall kitchen and stove to a more vibrant scenario haha
This video is so helpful, thank you so much for sharing these tips! One small thing I was missing, though, was more examples (final images) of where you had used the different items, even if they're not visible. It would just have helped visualize how to use these objects a little more. The bagel shot was so helpful!
Your videos are timeless. I can never tell if it's been mad 5 days ago or 5 years. You also don't age so good on you for this genes! Thank you for all the tips and tricks as always! Lastly, good luck with everything on the start of your new training coarse!
I love your channel! I have learned so much just watching five of your videos today. I am a beginner wishing to improve my food photography. I look forward to trying your tips and watching future videos. Thanks!
Joanie, food styling has always been my kryptonite! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for taking the mystery out of styling...OMG I can't wait to try these.
Great idea regarding the water and glycerin spray. I have used this spray on flowers but, I am not (yet) a food photographer. I love your channel! I did have a friend (when I was stationed with the Navy in Virginia) who was a food photographer but, didn't keep in touch with him after I was transferred. I do remember a couple of tricks that he swore by... 1. He had some fake plastic ice cubes for drink photos 2. He used lard instead of vanilla ice cream 3. He swore that Coca Cola looked better in a coffee cup than does regular black coffee (I don't know about coffee with creamer) 4. Along your ideas of using Kitchen Bouquet to color meats, he would use brown liquid shoe polish to replicate sear marks on steaks 5. He had a selection of Styrofoam pieces cut into all sorts of shapes and sizes that he would use to prop up dishes 6. He always had a wide roll of double stick tape to stabilize things 7. He used a lint roller (the kind you clean dog hair off your clothes with) to clean up the crumbs on table around his food
Really like your videos, very helpful and you keep things interesting, thanks. Especially like showing you setting up, and how you do things, you should do this for all your videos! 😁
Extremely useful video on tools for food styling and I marked a lot of them for Amazon. Thanks again! I usually do a number of food photo projects before Christmas.
I don't usually comment in youtube videos but WOW, I've learned so much from you!! I'm taking a photography class now and you've inspired me to do food photography and so far out of all the UA-cam videos I've watched, yours is the best! Thank you again!! ☺️💜
As a retoucher, I want to thank you for all the cleanup tips for the photographers/stylists 😜

Soy sauce is great for this as well!

I am so jealous...that pepper grinder is to die for! Awesome tips. Thanks, Joanie!
I know, right? I tried to get him to make a bunch of them for me to sell on Etsy, but he decided he wants to enjoy retirement :)
I'm not sure if he lied or ifsomeone decided to make that same pepper mill but there you go

@@TheBiteShot can you eat glicerin? I mean after you spray it on your food can you it the food after you shoot it or you have to discard it?
