If there was a simple way to capture mouth-watering food photography… would you be interested?

So beautifully styled and composed… that every dish looks worth sharing?

What if you could do it with a basic camera or phone?

My name is Josh Dunlop. Here’s something few people know:

You can capture tasty food photos with a basic camera or phone.

Picture food that looks well styled and ready for a magazine. You don’t need fancy equipment to start.

And I’m going to prove it to you… Can you spot the difference between the two photos below?

I took this photo immediately after the dish was plated. As you can see, it’s a good dish… but you wouldn’t want to share it on your website.

This was taken only minutes later. I used the same kitchen, dish, camera and equipment.

The Secret Ingredients in Tasty Food Photography

Have you ever wondered why a Big Mac on a billboard looks so different to a Big Mac in a box?

The ingredients are the same, but the approach is very different.

When photographing food, you have to use:

props and styling to set the scene
composition to add balance and flow
camera settings that suit the mood

With these secret ingredients, you can turn any dish into a mouth-watering feast.

All you need is the right process and the right instructor...

Her advice worked for me. So I asked her to join our team and help others do the same…

"Martina LaNotte writes simply, clearly, and intelligently..."

Great! There isn't anything I would change... I am using the course because I have a food blog and I needed to get better at photographing food, and your Edible Images course is excellent. I am also a Product Designer and Artist, and I will be using what I have learned in Edible Images to photograph my art. Great work, excellent clear videos and NO long winded accent to deal with :D (I'm in Australia).

Loving this book!! So many interesting insights and tricks! I'm a professional chef and food stylist but I used the past few months to start teaching myself the photography side of things. I can already tell this book will be like the Bible for me!

5 Steps to Fantastic Food Photography

01.Equipment and Camera Settings

Food photography is easy to start. It doesn’t rely on expensive gear. All you need is a good light source. Even a smartphone works.

Your camera settings still matter. We cover the exposure triangle and white balance in detail.

They help you control the mood of the photo. They also control the depth of focus.

02.Setting the Scene

Our brain wants to see more than “just” the food. We want to see the idea and concept behind the menu or recipe.

When setting the scene, you can add:

interesting backgrounds
beautiful plates and cutlery
props that complement the food

This allows us to evoke memories and emotions that are so strongly associated with food.

03.Composition and Colour

Food photography is like painting a work of art. You have total control over the composition of the scene.

This is a big advantage, but also a big responsibility.

That’s why “Edible Images” covers twelve composition rules. Each one is easy to use. There’s also a separate section on colour theory.

04.Food Styling

Fashion photographers use hair and makeup artists. Food photographers use a similar person: a food stylist.

A food stylist makes each dish look tasty and ready to shoot. They use all kinds of tricks to do this…

Think plastic ice cubes, shoe polish on raw meat, or mashed potato and food dye instead of ice cream.

Working without a food stylist? You need to know these tricks yourself.

05.Artificial and Natural Light

Window light can give you great results. It’s easy to control, though it can be unreliable.

We also cover artificial light. That includes speedlights and continuous lighting.

You also get tips on removing ambient light. The ebook shows you three strong lighting angles too.

The Quick-Start Checklist

Not sure where to start with food photography? This quick checklist can help.

My designer and I made a printable checklist.

It covers props and styling. It also covers composition and lighting.

It gives you a clear place to start with food photography.

Bonus #2Value $49

Behind the Scenes Video

Remember the before and after image at the top of the page? While I was shooting that dish, I invited my videographer over to capture the process.

We also made a video. It shows the tips and tricks I used from Martina’s ebook.

Trust me… I was no food photographer when I started. Her ebook was easy to read and use. I got stunning results that afternoon.

Bonus #3Value $49

Lightroom Presets for Food

You also get our Lightroom presets. Martina and I use them on our food photos. They’re made to get more from your raw files.

They’re easy to use and add more “pop” to your images.

Our presets are compatible with versions 4-6 of Lightroom. As well as Lightroom CC, and Lightroom Classic CC.
