I could be shooting a plate of cookies and in one shot it would be well balanced and another it could show up very warm or way too bright. So if you’re still on the fence or need some convincing, here’s a few main reasons why I now prefer artificial lighting over natural light. Especially because I began to grow frustrated with natural light and wanted to explore other options. It’s something I already know very well, so why change it?īut the more I learned about artificial lighting, the more I realized that it was a better fit for me. I had become so used to natural light that I began making excuses as to why I should just stick with it. This is something I toyed with for a very long time. So much so that I now prefer artificial lighting and it’s the only light I use for my food photography! Why make the switch from natural to artificial lighting?
Trust me, I’ve been there! But through tons of research and experimentation, I’ve found a feasible artificial lighting set up that closely mimics natural light.
It can seem intimidating, overwhelming, and you may just not know where to start. If you’re looking to transition your food photography lighting from natural to artificial, this post will help you make the switch.
