What an incredible teacher. When I started photography I watch your content many times. Such useful important tips and inspiring as always. Great work Karl .
Visual Education and Tin House are easily the most educative channels I’ve come across in my pursuit of Photography excellence. Seemingly obvious stuff so simply and well explained it doesn’t bear thinking about. The language and techniques used make even complicated shooting achievable regardless of the kit you use. Thanks Karl. Great job.
Well done again Karl, it's really hard to criticize your work as you're covering each and every aspect very professionally. You must appreciate your critics for this effort. Best of luck 🌷.
Hey Karl! thank you very much for the criticism, I just saw the replay of the show on the website, my photo was that of the T-bone meat cut, clearly the points of view you present are correct, I will continue practicing the compositions, backgrounds, concepts and edit to show the hero of photography, thank you very much again.
Thanks for the eye openers. Even when you know most of these things , it's always good to keep that knowledge fresh and your samples tell more than word can say !
i love your tutorials been following your stuff since you started out i must say one of the best advices where people can actually follow through and much of it seems so possible to do for many photographers, only draw back for most photographers is that they cant own a studio like the one you have with the much space, it becomes hard to do the things you do with limited space
Another solid presentation, and brought back lots of memories since I spent 20 years shooting market-research photos for a food manufacturer. Curious if you ever use a tilt/shift lens for food...? I always did (90mm)... as often for putting things out of focus as bringing them into focus. Not so important now with digital, but it came in handy shooting on film...
Back when I was assisting, I worked with a number of food photographers. Most of them either used a PC lens or a view camera, for exactly the reasons you cite. Now, I use a 90mm TS-E for a lot of my work. It’s not for everyone, but I love having that tool at my disposal, for all kinds of tabletop.
Many new food photographer may come from event, portrait, wedding background. They use bounce flash a lot. So they do the same with food. Bounce light from white ceiling. And if they use flash with softbox, they usually place it in front of people. And when they do that to food. It looks no good again. So just knowing these two mistake will improve your food photography a lot.
My food channel is fairly new and I am always seeking ways to improve my channel and food photography - just want to say a big thank you for sharing your tips and tricks I know they will help me going forward 🙏🏽
Thank you Karl! Another great video! I only hope one day, that there is the opportunity to get to your classes! I am sure they are great! This video was very helpful! )))
Amazing video. I am shooting food myself lately but it's really hard. This video answers some of my questions. I have a lot to learn still I know that for sure.
@@VisualEducationStudio Of all camera related youtube channels your channel is probably the best for overall photography. I still like your old video's where you explain that gear does not matter. Still so many people fight eachother over gear lately (especially on FB groups where Sony shooters are really hostile towards Canon shooters and BlackMagic shooters that are dissing Sony shooters). Maybe it would be a good idea to make a 2021 update video what photography is all about!
so the problem with a lot of outdoor photography (and outdoor food photography) is that the lighting is adjusted MOSTLY by the aperture, since without a fast shutter speed, the image becomes blurry, but if you have too small an aperture, the depth will become too intense and you'll end up With a really blurry background, a still pretty blurry middle ground, and a super crisp and detailed foreground.
Hi, you've got that the wrong way round regarding the small aperture but some of your facts are valid. Our free course will make it all clear - karltayloreducation.com/free-photography-course/
If you could only pick one lense for food photgraphy, what one would it be ? I currently use a Tamron 24-70 wide angle but feel it may not be the best choice. Please could you advise. Thank you Karl
I would also argue that in the photo of the 3 croissants, the colour of the wooden board is to close to that of the croissants. Not enough contrast between the two.
Both. Long term, and provided you enjoy photography and design, learning how to shoot your own food shots will probably be beneficial. You will be able to learn a new skill or a bunch of new skills and save money that you would have otherwise used to hire a professional photographer. Though, you might end up spending money on new lights, reflectors, tripods, lenses etc :) Short term, hire someone that's a pro. You won't be able to simply pick up a camera, watch a few tutorials and come away with the beautiful, professional looking shots that you see in magazines. That is especially true if you don't have any general photography and editing experience. The bottom line is that if you need professional looking photos for business purposes and you need them now, get a pro to shoot them. If you're an amateur and/or willing to spend a lot of time learning, and it's not a time sensitive issue, go for it.
You didn't include the mistake of not taking into consideration the composing of food for graphic design and lettering that would compliment the final image.

Thank you Sam but you can do a huge amount with food photography in just a table top space with a window. I've done it many times.
Love the tips and the critiques. This is one of my favorites so far. Very useful!
Glad it was helpful!

I always did (90mm)... as often for putting things out of focus as bringing them into focus. Not so important now with digital, but it came in handy shooting on film...
Hi J.L., I'd not thought of using the tilt and shift for food, good idea.
Back when I was assisting, I worked with a number of food photographers. Most of them either used a PC lens or a view camera, for exactly the reasons you cite. Now, I use a 90mm TS-E for a lot of my work. It’s not for everyone, but I love having that tool at my disposal, for all kinds of tabletop.
Thanks Mr Taylor.
I will bear that in mind on my next shoot.
I did follow most of your rules in my last shoot two months ago.
Great cheers.

The Gordon Ramsey of food photogrpahy👌
What editong program is that?
Table Top food photography is quite common.So why not have a tutorial of food photography on natural environment form one of the best tutors🙏🏿
Thank you. We have lots here - www.karltayloreducation.com/section/food/
@@VisualEducationStudio Subscribing soon to improve my learning process🙏🏿.
I'm an amateur who has only ever taken pictures of meals I create for myself and would like help getting better and more creative
When doing food photography, how much of the lighting is flash vs continuous?
Hi, it's all flash.
Primarily people use flash, but continuous can be used and in most cases will yield pretty much identical results
Which software to use for food photography/editing?
PS, LR, whichever one you like.
I would also argue that in the photo of the 3 croissants, the colour of the wooden board is to close to that of the croissants. Not enough contrast between the two.
VERY NIC SIR
I came here for photography and I got Hungry.
Is it better to learn how to photograph myself or to hire a professional to shoot my food?
Both.
Long term, and provided you enjoy photography and design, learning how to shoot your own food shots will probably be beneficial. You will be able to learn a new skill or a bunch of new skills and save money that you would have otherwise used to hire a professional photographer.
