You might remember Izy also came to cook some gorgeous stop motion melt in the middle cookie with us a while back, which you can see here:

Today she shares tips and tricks for basic photography and how to apply those to food.

  2. alice gray marks says

    Very skillful photos! Izy has great personal style as well.

  3. Mark Thomas says

    I dunno, I feel that food photography is almost always fake-looking. Like it's been over edited or the colours are ridiculous. Every food blog has images that look nothing like the real thing because the photos are so detached from the real thing.

  4. Michael Blackwell says

    Guess she never hear of a tripod? Hand held – yea sure!

    Hi ! First I wanna say that I love your videos ! I am learning so much , I am a pastry Chef and for health reasons i have to stay at home so i am learning how to take pictures because i will like make a youtube channel but i have a issue which i will appreciate your opinion , my kitchen is dark so no way i start with videos there i cant buy lights because i am not working now but i was thinking in get a folding table and put the table next to a window where i will record , my plan is only show what i am doing , do you think the folding table is going to look bad because i see you try to put a flat surface and what do you think about the location ? What can i add or change ? Thank you so much

    Izy, first thing to learn is, Your left hand goes UNDERNEATH your lens, so as to better support it.

  25. Aime says

    I think it's kind of confusing how you explained the ISO and the aperture. On the one hand you didn't clarify that ISO is the camera Digital way to catch light and add it to the picture, that is why the higher the ISO the granier the picture, since it has been digitally adjust to be lighter. On the other hand the lower the aperture is the lenses way (if I am not mistaken) to be able to let in more light into the camera (besides the whole thing of focus) which is why you wouldn't need the camera's program to add up more lighting

  26. Electric Bubble says

    that was hardcore rad!

    So good!

  33. AC/DC says

    Excellent video! Thank you!

  34. Mahendra Singh says

    Not so great. Shooting images at ISO 1600. The shots are unplanned and random without any value.

  35. Khalid ait ouferdou says

    What is the sens did you use ?

  36. SugarCoder says

    Very useful information, even if it was posted 2 years ago!

  37. Global Sound Promotion says

    Thanks for the tips!

  38. NJA2k8 says

    Could've gotten away with not explaining the simple exposure triangle, but I see that this channel was geared towards cooks and not photographers

  39. Wesley Oostvogels says

    Nice video, happy to hear your opinion about the natural light, I've always been a fan of that 😀 But what about your preferred focal length? 60mm, 85mm? Macro or not. It all makes a huge difference on the aperture settings and how we perceive DOF.

  40. EJAZ AHMED DARS says

    very nice

  41. Rashad Tashkandi says

    What type of lense is recommended?
