Hooray, Hooray the sun is back! - Healthy food shoot
It's a struggle over the winter to get the kind of natural light you need to take beautiful product shots. But it's coming back and will only get better. So, pack in your pack shots on the next sunny day. Good light makes all the difference in the world.
Shooting from above and moving the reflector around until the shadows within the image were minimised.

Natural light goes with photographing food, it really does.
Subliminally we associate naturalness with healthiness.
As the sun moved round the garden I moved the food into different areas of bright shadow.
Bright shadow is your secret weapon.
The sunlight has to be bright enough that it bounces from surrounding surfaces into the shadow.
Us a reflective surface reduce darkness in the shadows even further.
Keep it all light and bright.
The colours of the food, when the shadows are taken away, do their own work.
