The ultimate goal of food photography is easy to point out; the way to making that happen may be a bit challenging to figure out for beginners. A lot of factors go into it like styling, lighting, backdrops, and of course, camera settings.
If you're looking for a way to stabilize your camera and finding that image stabilization isn't enough, then we've got some methods for you. Of course, there is the tried and true method of using a tripod.
Cameras, lenses, and photo editing software have gotten so good and advanced in the last decade that it may be hard for some to see the point of using tools like lens filters. However, there are actually a bunch of filters that prove useful even today because they help you nail the shots in-camera, saving you time and effort in post-processing later.
When it comes to black and white photography, adapting a different mindset is necessary. There’s more to it than shooting with your camera in monochrome mode. Instead of evaluating a scene through eye-catching colors, you’ll need to look closely at the balance between light and shadows, and of light elements against dark ones.
Since most of us are pretty much stuck indoors due to COVID-19 lockdown and quarantine measures, we thought we might as well put together a bunch of photography cheat sheets that will prove useful for indoor photography.
Fact: the world is in a very down mood right now amidst all that's going on. But you can find it in yourself to be creative and channel your emotions into art. We continuously bring you new photography cheat sheets, and today we're showing you one of our own creations.
F-stop is one of the terms you’ll continuously encounter throughout your photography journey, so understanding how it works is crucial to your practice. It may take some time and a lot of practice before you get the hang of it, but today’s featured photography cheat sheet should at least make the learning experience easier for you.
