Do you like flat lay photography? Aren't flatlays amazing? I just love how we can create beautiful visual stories & powerful compositions in an overhead shot.But do you find it just a tad bit harder to nail the lighting in that angle?How to bring depth to the composition?How to make the food pop a little more?Sometimes it’s too dark and sometimes too bright? If you’ve ever been blown away by a flat lay food photo, you know the importance of depth in an overhead shot because it is the shadows that make a 2-D photo look 3-D.The truth is that it is somewhat tricky to bring depth in a flat lay versus a straight-on or 3/4th angle shot.When you only see the rim of the plate or glass, only the top of the food, it becomes even more necessary to add depth… making the lighting just a tad bit more challenging. In this episode, I’m talking about the one lighting practice that helped me overcome that challenge & completely changed my flat lay photography. There are many aspects of light that come together to create depth and dimension but out of all, there is one aspect that is often overlooked and misinterpreted. I’m sharing everything about that one key consideration, which is also my first step in setting up the light for a top down angle. I have gone from creating flat light, completely ruining my flat lay photos & being criticized by professionals for poor lighting to finally understanding the mistake I was making. If you want to create powerful light for your flat lay photo right from the get-go, this episode is for you so that you never go through trial & error and can start bringing the wow factor to your flat lay photography right away. ​ Read more at https://myfoodlens.comFollow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/Show notes available at https://myfoodlens.com/35-lighting-technique-to-create-depth-in-flat-lay-photography/
