After a long break, I finally tried my hand at some food photography today. It’s been about 5 years since my original attempt at food blogging. It was a disaster. I was doing way too much! Recipe development, preparing all the food, scheduling social media posts, writing blogs, taking photos and filming videos. I got burnt out after a couple of months. What started as a hobby soon became a chore.
This time around just focussing on the photography aspect was a game-changer. It gave me time to play around with different lighting, and lenses and tweak the composition and styling to my liking.
It’s been challenging to jump back into this but I’m enjoying the ride, bumps and all.
