For as long as I’ve been taking pictures of food, I’ve believed that beautiful food photography requires natural light.
But here’s the question – does it really?
What I’m finding is that even as a full-time blogger who has access to natural light all day long, the quality of natural light is always unpredictable. We live in Minnesota (don’t even get me started on the whys), and the natural light in the winter months is… well, I’m looking out the window right now and everything is just sort of a murky grey.
Over the last few years I’ve felt like there had to be a better way than waiting around all day for those three minutes of perfect natural light.
And I have good news – there is a better way!

Congrats on the new course material! Lighting is a fickle beast we always have to figure out ways to deal with our light for the videos.

This is an excellent course. It has inspired my wife to become a little more tech savvy which makes me happy.
Thanks for the kind words Eric! So happy to hear that the course was helpful.
Its really very important to know the difference between the use of natural and artificial lighting in food photography. After seeing the intro video I can say that this course is going to help all photographers out there. Thank you.
Thanks for the helpful course Lindsay. I think the tips will be useful for not only food photography, other photography as well. Excellent written and the video.
