5 things you need in order to create beautiful foo 5 things you need in order to create beautiful food photos 📸

Surprise surprise it is not the most up to date or best gear out there! These are the 5 things you need in order to take beautiful photos:

1- Whatever camera you have. Have a super old refurbished camera that you bought off eBay? Cool! I shot with a 5 year old cropped frame camera for the first 2 years of my business. Some of those photos are still my absolute faves.

2- An editing software like @lightroom. Taking the picture is only a part of the job! Editing softwares allow you to bring out the beauty in your composed photo.

3- Food duh! A general rule of thumb- the fresher your food, the prettier it will look. This is why I like to shop for myself if I can- because it means I get to select the food that I know will look best on camera. Same goes for baked goods, the prettier I can make it look, the better it will look!

4- LIGHT- This is IMO the absolute most important thing you need. Light can make or break your photo. An in depth understanding of how light works and how you can manipulate it will drastically improve your pictures!

5- Open eyes- keeping your eyes open for the extraordinary aspects of ordinary things will open your eyes to a whole new world. I mean who thought mushrooms could be this beautiful? NOT ME! But between the pink color and the beautiful lines I couldn’t resist!

There you have it friends, hope you found it useful, is there anything you want to add to the list?!

✨COURSE CONTROL ✨ I see you. You have *at lea ✨COURSE CONTROL ✨

I see you. You have *at least* one course that you bought over the last year. Problem is, the log in details are still sitting unopened in your inbox. Yet here you are wondering if you should sign up for another course you just heard about.

Your’e thinking ohh this is the one. This is the one that is going to get me to my goals.

So you go ahead and spend your hard earned money and then 2 months later, courses racked up, your’e in the same place you were 2 months ago and the cycle continues.

I get it, because Iv’e been there!

There are SO many courses being offered right now by so many talented people and it’s hard to know which ones are going to make an impact on your life.

The thing is- THEY ALL WILL.

But it’s up to you to take the time and hold yourself accountable to actually do 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 work👏🏻

It’s the difference between being addicted to your goals or being addicted to information.

So how do you hold yourself accountable?

Set aside time every week that you will work on that course. Seriously put it into your calendar and block off any amount of time that you can give it. Even 20 minutes.

Then implement it into your work and watch your growth!

If you go in the process of learn—> implement, learn—> implement not only will you feel so good about it (bye guilty conscience), but you will hit your goals way faster!

It’s not even the end of January and I’ve enrolled in 3 courses so far this year. 1 is completely done (hooray!) and the other 2 I’m in the middle of. So if you needed a sign to go hit start on that new course- THIS IS IT.

Come back to me in 2 months and tell me what you did 😉

Reasons why this photo gets me 😍 🌈-The colo Reasons why this photo gets me 😍

🌈-The colors! They just get me every time! Between the bright orange peel next to the juicy red inside. Plus the juice makes for just the prettiest pink glaze. Which is why when shooting this pic, I decided to go with the pink background instead of a white or other neutral.

⚪️-The repetitive circles- The repetition of these shapes make this visually pleasing to your eye. Using different parts of the orange to create the same circles makes it more dynamic.

🎨-Again the colors- the contrast from deep red to a light pink makes this monochromatic scheme exciting!

💡-The light- The difference between the highlights and shadows create depth in the image.

Remember you don’t need the fanciest gear to take beautiful photos, I took this one on the floor! But you do need to pay attention to detail and understand the basic principles of photography to take shots you love ❤️
