Thank you for popping over from Aby Moore’s amazing Blogging Changes Lives Online Summit. I hope you enjoyed my food photography and styling session. I know that understanding the manual mode on your camera can be daunting but I promise you, once you get to grips with it your images will improve dramatically.
I can not stress enough that there are only 3 things to understand when using manual mode. We’ve been over them in the session and below is a visual cheat sheet you can use to really get to grips with the settings. I keep saying it’s trial and error and it really is. Don’t forget that food photographers sometimes take 100s of shots in one session and only have a few to choose from at the end. This is totally normal!
Practice, practice, practice…
I’ve got a pdf version of my notes from the sessions for you too. On there is a list of ideas where you can buy props: a well-stocked box of plates, pretty bowls, napkins and spoons will also help you immensely with your food photography and enable you to tell your food story.
Download my Food photography and styling notes here.
And don’t forget to join my mailing list to be notified of my upcoming courses and 1:1 mentorships.
I wish you every success in your food photography and styling adventures!

![[AD - Paid Partnership] Happy International Women's Day! Here I am with the two little ladies in my life, this photo was taken moments before the mayhem and total chaos of 'The School Run.' We've all been there, right?! But, imagine dropping your girls off to school and them NOT having sanitary protection - wouldn't that be awful? The stark reality is that thousands of teenagers in the UK are missing school because they don't have sanitary wear. I had a chat with Holly about the Always #EndPeriodPoverty campaign and she told me that at her college there is a box where girls can put their spare sanitary towels and tampons so that anyone without access to sanitary protection can use them. @always_uk_ireland believes every student should have access to sanitary protection and so far they've donated over 14 million pads to school students in need. And now @tampax_uk has joined forces with Always to expand the donation drive, together partnering with @TheRedBoxProjectUK a community organisation that collects donated period products and distributes them to schools for free. Here's where YOU can help - for starters, let's talk about periods more and NORMALISE them 💜This is so so important. Secondly, be aware that for every pack of Always Ultra, Always Platinum, TAMPAX Pearl or Pearl Compak purchased in stores from today until 21st April, a product will be donated to a student in need. And finally, PLEASE LIKE and/or COMMENT 👈🏻😍 – as another donation will be made to The Red Box Project for every like and comment on this post too! Isn't that amazing?
