Behind The Lens

Location

In a restaurant in my hometown Cologne, germany.

Time

I am not quite sure about this, but I think it was in the afternoon.

Lighting

Absolutely! It's the wonder of one light. I positioned one big softbox with a speedlight half from above and half from the side. So I could illuminate the object that it stands out well from the background. Of course I deliberately took a dark base and background, so that the contrast is stronger.

Equipment

I shot this picture with a Sony A 7 iii, a Samyang 35mm f1.4, a Yungnuo YN560 iii, and I think it's a 85cm big Softbox and Walimex Tripods for this.

Inspiration

I have been watching youtube videos of good photographers on a regular basis for quite a while now. In the end they inspired me to do a food photography project like this one. By coincidence I got a job where I could try myself out and that's where this photo came from.

Editing

I only corrected the white balance, because I wanted the white of the plate to be perfect. I also sharpened the inner workings of the apple strudel and added some contrast to make it pop. Otherwise I adjusted the colours according to my aesthetic perception so that it looked good for me.

In my camera bag

It always depends on the job. But mostly I only have my Sony a7 iii, my Samyang 35mm f1.4, my Viltrox 85mm f1.8 with me. What should not be missing are ND filters. I always have three of them: 8x, 64x and 1000x In addition to that, a fine towel and a bellows should not be missing. Oh, and I always have a triangular prism with me. All this I carry in my super-practical backpack for photographers from Zecti. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Feedback

Don't drive yourself crazy with the light setting. Try one light. In most cases it's quite enough. I mean, natural light doesn't come from different directions too, right?
