For this waffle food image, we utilised a number of subtle techniques to really draw attention to the subject and make it stand out.
As you’ll see in the class, one of the first things we addressed was the choice of outfit. Eventually opting for the blue denim jacket, this provided a great contrast with the golden yellow of the waffles, the bright red berries and pop of green mint.

Using colour to make the subject stand out.​

Lighting was the other key tool used to help make the subject stand out. There were a couple of techniques I used to do this, including controlled patches of light on the waffles, berries and mint and a beam of light on the background to help draw the eye to the subject.

The full lighting setup for this shot can be seen in the video.​

Throughout this class, you’ll see how just slight adjustments can really help enhance the final image, and in the end I was very pleased with the result.
