Dark Moody Food Photography Lighting Set Up

- In this video I look at how to create dark and moody food photographs utilising styling, props, the inverse square law, and lighting modification.
Food photography is an ever growing commercial industry, and although this style is not popular int he commercial world yet, it is very popular for social media and some brands are starting to move their work this way.
To create this Dark moody food photography lighting set up, you can use anything from a window and tracing paper through to a professional studio lighting kit.

I am OBSESSED WITH DARK AND MOODY!!! Great video!
Beautiful results! Love it! and your videos are so helpful!
Great content dude. Love all of it, from your Fstoppers editorials to these videos. No idea how you do it all, but keep up the good work. Can't wait to see your brand grow my man! P.s. your portfolio is sick!!!
Fascinating! I love these videos. Many thanks.
This was a fantastic video. Thank you
“So now that you understand this” 😅
All I understand now is that I don’t understand this. Progress I say 👌😂
Nice work,many thanks!
One of the things I love about your videos is that you are very much of the “teach a person to fish” mindset. I always come away with things to think about and apply elsewhere.
Thank you! Now of to try it.
Did it work?
Did I understand that correctly: because of the inverse square law you got your light pretty close to the pumpkins so that there is a strong fall off of the light and the ratio between highlights and shadow areas is strong?
Good one. A longer shot of the final image at the end would be nice, because it's only up for a second before the promo windows cover up a bunch of it at the very end of the video, and that's the shot we want to see the most. I'm looking forward to the editing video.
@@TinHouseStudioUK Thanks, that's nice!
Hey man just to give you a tip, you can run USB hubs if you don't have enough ports. I hate mac for that lol. I do however use a 4 port USB extender. What I REALLY hate mac for is not having the ability to run second monitors without buying some silly 3rd part cable..
Good video, thanks once again.However, I missed the use of the grid close to the subject in this scenario. Would love to see that applied. Thanks.
Agnieszka Jakubowicz Same here. And I’d love to know where to get one of these.
How about eliminating ambient light and then slowly build up artificial lighting. Add flags & reflectors. With this method you can be the controller of color & tone.
Excellent and very precise tutorial but the background music is quite loud and irritating.
Scott...is that a home made dabber that you use or bought ?
As a food photographer, you can do this..or just get an even exposure and dodge and burn. You will always want shadow detail, so you know its there. Once its black, its gone. Before editing just be sure your background is 1-2 stops darker and your contrast ratio is 1 to 3 to start with. Hollywood creates dark and moody often, while having a full histogram. "capture light in camera-create shadow in post."
I agree it's a great option and a way of doing things but it's not always efficient. I've made the mistake lots of times when shooting that I was lazy and thought. "Ah i'll just fix that in post." But if you're shooting an entire series and you have to fix every photo afterwards it's so time consuming. You can save so much time getting it first while shooting especially if you're client asks for 10+ photo's of a certain setup.
What lighting did you use for this photo?
@@TinHouseStudioUK thank you!
Did you really catch the ambiant light at f/10 ? You could go 100% flash and put some white flag to bounce a little bit ?
Also, great tuto and I really like the background
@@TinHouseStudioUK It was a misunderstanding from a french viewer :) i watched that part again (@10:15), you mentionned extra spill while filming the gap between two black flags and I thought you were talking about day light. My bad
Lights have a DOF to :)
Dilyan Karaivanov I’ve actually never thought of it like that but yes, very much so
@@TinHouseStudioUK Yep, very important point in product photography. Playing with distances with lights set to low power output where 2-3 cm back/ forward will change the picture dramatically. I learn this in the hard way for last 16 years, but no one talk about it :)
USB Hubs are reliable and a tiny fraction of the cost of a second Mac. 😉
Dell laptops have USB ports as standard
Brilliantly helpful - apart from the hideous, pointless background music.Off to view some more of your videos now though.
Omg, the most artificially and uselessly long video EVER!! Just show the set up and stop recording yourself talking and talking or actually installing the set !!!
