As for the yellow lighting… that might be my biggest problem! My parents’ entire house is filled with either yellow or beige walls! (And my new place doesn’t get very good light at all, sadly.) I usually try to shoot in “aperature priority,” which means the ISO sets itself automatically. You are so sweet to take the time to help me, Rebecca! I guess I just get ISO and shutter speed mixed up when I look at my camera. Trust me, the more you see the better you will get (the caveat is that you really need to pay attention to WHAT you like and don’t like-I even take notes and print/cut out examples) I know you said you don’t typically read lots of cooking blogs but I would DEFINITELY start if you want to take your photos skills up a notch. Don’t underestimate how much finding a photo you DON’T like can help you hone in on what you DO like). In terms of styling, look through LOTS of food blogs and cooking magazines to find what you like (and what you don’t like.

I (unfortunately!) don’t get to a lot of food photography myself so I can’t speak to this from experience-but I would assume this works best for food as well.

Many of the best food photos I’ve seen on blogs are even shot outside (no matter the temperature!). ![]() So, making sure that you have plenty of (non-yellow!) lighting OR using *lots* of daylight is how you want to go about this. *That being said, it is best to use a lower ISO whenever possible (the trade-off with a higher ISO is that the picture will be gritty/grainy.NOT what you want in a food photo!) Although using a flash will allow you to use a lower ISO, a flash with food photography typically does not give a great result. outdoors on a sunny day) and a high ISO setting is more appropriate for low-light situations (indoors without a flash, nighttime shots, etc.). ![]() In it’s simplest terms, a low ISO setting works best in bright light (i.e.
