The Key Elements of Catching a Great Shot in Sh*tty Lighting
Welcome to our second installment of Not Your Father’s Food Porn with @MeatballssMama. Last time we explored getting better color into your Instagram shots. This week we’re looking at a challenge most bars and restaurants know well: working with low light.While keeping the lights dim in your dining room helps set the ambiance, it makes for a bad photography studio. Dishes that look good to the eye end up looking as shadowy, dim and blurry as a Sasquatch doing the walk of shame. Since you don’t have the time or interest to hook up a bank of studio lights right before service, we asked our Instagram guru, @Meatballssmama, how to deal with sh*tty lighting.
