If you asked me now what is the most exciting thing I\u2019ve had to do with in these past couple of years (of blogging), well the answer would be \u2013 without a doubt \u2013 FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let me introduce you...Food photography 101 series!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Briefly: it has been there in my mind for a long time.
Creating a \"photography\" section in my blog sounded like the perfect icing on the cake <\/em>after this long journey learning food photography.
I mean, I myself still have so many things to learn. I am one of those people that will for ever and ever say \u2018you'll never stop learning\u2019.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In two years of blogging, I\u2019ve watched a massive amount of tutorials on Youtube, read so many posts about photography and food photography, also took a live workshop (with the lovely Valentina Solfrini<\/a>) and a course with Sarah Fennel <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a consequence, I really wanted to put my knowledge out there to help people learn quickly how to create stunning pictures.<\/strong>
And what\u2019s the best way to teach a beginner how to really rock photography?
Creating a \u2018series\u2019, am I right?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then let's go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Food photography camera settings:
make friends with ISO, APERTURE, SHUTTER SPEED!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let me say, I've always hated theory.
Bad news is: we need it.
Good news is: I will make practical examples<\/strong> so you will understand what the best food photography camera settings are and how to start shooting in manual mode in five minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may seem a struggle at the beginning. Maybe you don't know where to start from. Maybe you already have read so many posts. But wait, don't throw in the towel! I've been there and I know how to solve these 'beginners' problems'.<\/em>
Learning how to shoot in manual mode will allow you to take control of your camera and...will give you confidence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's easier than you think, REMEMBER THIS SENTENCE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"manual mode is about achieving proper exposure<\/strong> by creating the perfect balance between <\/em>shutter speed, aperture and ISO.\"<\/em>
<\/strong>Easier said than done are you saying? Nah. I promise, it's easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eye metaphor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Think about these 3 basic settings as a human eye<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
