How to arrange lighting for food photography

When shooting food, less direct hard light is used, but soft light that still has a certain directionality.

The softness of the soft light depends on the surface condition of the food. If the surface of the food is rough, generally a soft light with a slightly harder optical property should be used; if the surface of the food is smooth, a soft light with an extremely soft optical property should be used. In this way,

The texture of food is best expressed.

When lighting, pay attention to whether the light brightness is uniform, and provide appropriate fill light for dark parts to avoid excessive contrast between light and dark.

When it is necessary to use contour light to outline the shape of the subject, the contour light should not be too strong, and a honeycomb should be installed in front of the floodlight to control the light area and not interfere with the main light.
