This guide is for commercial food photographers looking to elevate their lighting skills to attract well established brands.
1. CREATE LIGHTING THAT’S TAILORED TO YOUR BRAND (P.S. THIS GETS YOU HIRED!)
We create a mood board to help you visualise the lighting style that speaks to you personally. A strong personal brand will help you stand out and attract higher-paying clients.

3.POSITION YOUR LIGHTS THROUGH LIVE DEMOS
We share real examples from our previous shoots to showcase how we positioned our lighting to get the desired outcome. Most of our images are shot with hard lighting, but the principles of light work exactly the same across different styles.

We will cover troubleshooting tips and things to keep in mind when you're working with artificial lighting.
6.COPY OUR LIGHTING EQUIPMENT LIST FOR YOUR NEXT SHOOT
If you're not sure what to buy or where to get started or you are working on a budget - we have got you covered. We share our full lighting equipment list that you can purchase for under £1000.
