Hi Mardie, you can take great cake photos in a very simple way.
1) ALWAYS photograph cakes in natural light.
- in my opinion, you really don’t need any fancy lights, just a good window and a plain wall.
2) Buy a tripod for your camera.
- you can buy them very cheap now, I got mine a few years ago from the supermarket.
Its always best to have your photos as clear as possible for professional results.
I also use a remote with my camera.
3) If you can control the shutter speed of your camera, let as much light in as you can to really highlight your work, but not too bright or you could drain the colours.
4) WATERMARK your photos.
- I always suggest putting your name somewhere on your photo. More and more people are stealing others photos and claiming it to be their own work. Keep your work protected.
I’ve been a photographer for over 4 years, I have to say that I enjoy photographing cakes the most, some are more challenging than others because of their shape but you can always find a way to highlight the best angle to present your work.
Hope this helps!
