Valid point Beverly thanks 😄 …. Yes, I forgot to add, my point and shoot Sony Cyber Shot camera was high resolution, auto zoom and had a macro feature on it that takes you to 3" away from subject. It also has enhancing software on it to tweak your pics.
Yes, backing and your photo setting for the shoot is highly important. It’s worth the time risked aside to do this. Natural light is best, but not always available to us in certain circumstances. A clear uncluttered background (or backdrops, such as wallpaper, stone/brick walls, wrapping paper….it’s endless what you can do. I have a little photo tent that I use and shine lamps through the sides as it gives nice defused lighting. Use white card to direct your light or bounce light too. It helps reduce shadows.
I agree with Beverly re mood shots (low lighting etc) and crop your pics in so that you have not got loads of space all around the cake. Take at every angle. I can take over 50 pics to find 10 that work for me.
Perhaps when you go to choose your camera you could let the sales person know what you are using it for, they can then guide you ….
Anyway, each person has their own personal preferences. I’m sure you’ll choose wisely.
The first thing I do when getting my camera…. Read the manual throughly first. And refer to it often, as there are guidance on lighting in them too.
Have fun
Calli 😘
