MicroStudio Techniques At Home
Gourmet Delight
This shot emerged as a food pairing between a Christmas gift of Prosecco and the type of dessert cake it is normally paired with. The red flowers were an effort to bring up the color value. This type of photo comes in handy with recipe and wine articles that need a plus feature.
Learning to use lights and opportunity and household materials can make some surprisingly marketable microstock product images. Making sure you have a tried and true light source, no extreme shadows, good depth of field, and limited subject matter can create a money shot.
The most humdrum of photographs can get widely used. The websites featuring stunning pictures for travel and broad landscape vistas and exotic wildlife don’t indicate that.
But you may have a camera at home that takes a scintillatingly clear microstock shot of green herbs in water, or flowers inside a crystal vase. Learn to coordinate morning light, exterior space (sky makes a fantastic contract color), and varied angles and perspectives. You can shop for the best clarity during the crop and edit process.
I’ve received a lot of food and wine and recipe blogging assignments this year, and some interesting results from the home photography experiements have been lucrative.
