How to shoot food photos if you’re not a chef or a great baker?<\/h1>\n

Let’s face it, not everyone of us is a Cordon Bleu and have all the time in the world to bake a cute cake from scratch every time we want one. Even if you have time, you might want to go the easy way and bake a cute cake from a delicious cake mix. And if you’re a real foodie, you might want to turn this cake into a food photo.<\/p>\n

With this quick photo essay, I just wanted to show it’s easy to style a photo to make (almost) anything look good. Take this lemon cake made from IKEA Muffinsmix<\/a>\u00a0for example; it’s probably the easiest cake batter I’ve ever made, but still, there’s a way to make it look good with the right accessories, lighting and styling.<\/p>\n

How to style a food photo for a recipe that wasn’t meant to be styled?<\/h2>\n

For this one, you’re gonna have to use or imagination or rely on Pinterest. Pinterest<\/a> is a great source of inspiration for my food photos.<\/p>\n

For this food photo, I was inspired by the cake mix itself and decided to put on a homemade lemon icing along with halves of thin lemon slices. I also added a few full lemon slices on the side as well as full lemons. I put the cake on a cooling rack and the background is a concrete tile from <\/a>Ciot.<\/p>\n

What was my lighting setup for this food photo?<\/h2>\n

For these photos, I had a rather simple lighting setup: an external flash<\/a> triggered wirelessly<\/a> with a snoot<\/a> so the light is harsher and concentrated on the subject.<\/p>\n

To soften up the scene, I turned on my LED Ring Light<\/a> which was installed on the lens for the occasion.<\/p>\n

I shot this in RAW on my trusty\u00a0Nikon D750<\/a>\u00a0at 1\/200 @ f\/4 with the unbelievable Sigma 50mm f\/1.4 Art<\/a> lens.<\/p>\n

What I wanted to show you with this article is that with enough creativity, you can have great results even if it’s a simple cake mix you bought from the store.<\/p>\n
