I only take my pictures on my northern window because it’s the best light.Īdditional I dim the light coming from outside to get a nice light. You will see big differences between a northern window and a southern one. You see the big difference between them.ĭo you have different windows at home? Try out to shot on different windows. Here is one picture from my UPSIDE DOWN BLOOD ORANGE CAKE which I shot with day light and edited with Adobe Lightroom presets. Some people try to avoid them but I like them because the pictures are more real with shadows. Light shadows are also welcome in my pictures. Without daylight it is really difficult to get a shot I really like. It is the best to use in my Dark and Moody Photography.

I learned to “catch” the light on a northern window. Best light for a dark and moody Food Photography I spread some bread crumbs or rumple my serviette to make the picture more lively. The viewer should feel invited to eat the food straight away. I try to avoid a sterile style of the food. I also use plants as much as I can as well as purple flowers. In this way you can focus food model much better and “catch” the light. One of the best I ever learned is to use darker backgrounds and undergrounds. I love using low-keyed colors like olive green and dark blue. I prefer natural products, like wood and linen. It’s up to you which accessories you use. You need to arrange a „moody atmosphere“. Before you edit a picture you need to get a good shot with your camera.

Accessoires for a Dark and Moody Food PhotographyĪccessories are a very important part for Food styling. So it’s perfect to use this style in the Food Photography. You can highlight the texture or the food in this way. I prefer clear light accents which you can find in my pictures. I love the Dark & Moody Food Photography much more than the brighter one. But I learned more and more with the time. I definitely tried out a lot in the last 2 years and I was frustrated so often. When I began with Food Photography in 2015 I can’t decide which style I love more.

To find his own photography style needs a lot of time.
