It was Quiche Day in the Haines home kitchen yesterday and I spotted an opportunity to grab a few shots using a technique known as backlighting.

Simply place the light source at the back of the shot and point your camera towards the light without getting it in frame.

You can easily increase the overall visual appeal and create an almost moody feel.

Any light source can work but I'm using my pocket size Newer LED that has brightness and colour controls and works well iwith this mini tripod in tight situations where time is limited.

If you're not sure where to start with food photography or struggling to keep your presence as regular as you'd like....I'm Brisbane based & always happy to chat. A simple DM away.

Happy Photography 📸

Have you been doing something so well, for so long, that you’ve stopped seeing the value it adds to the choices you offer?

Have you forgotten how special it really is and the difference it's making?

Sometimes, what feels ordinary to you might actually be the thing that sets your business apart.

Featured are a range of products that we made by hand in our food business.

It was easy to think that we offered nothing different until you compared our kitchen to those of our competitors that were filled with conveyor belts and food processing machinery.

When asked we proudly told people that our mash was made from real potatoes and our sauces were powder free!

This became ordinary to us ... but never to our customers ❤️❤️❤️

When you appear repeatedly people slowly begin to believe that you're serious and therefore... will be around indefinitely.

This leads to trust. But they must recognise you ... which is the reason why we always branded our shots, flyers and virtually anything our audience would see with a tagline and/or green heart.

Even so .... it still takes a while for an enquirer to become a regular customer. Research from way back even suggests you need to be seen up to 8 times before action is taken.

Working out a branding style that gives you instant recognition helps bring this all together.

Not sure where to start? I'm always up for a chat 🗣️

This breakfast was already doing the hard work - colour, texture, detail.

A quick edit with Snapseed just helped bring out what was already there.

I started with a scrappy underexposed shot of this poke bowl—nothing fancy, just a quick snap that wasn’t doing the food any favours. A few random blobs, dull lighting, not much going for it.

Spent 20 mins in Snapseed on my phone, tweaking shadows, fixing colours, and trying to give it a bit of life. Threw some bold text over the side to balance things out and cover the messy food underneath.

Not every image starts strong - but sometimes it’s worth wrestling with the rough ones. You can still pull something decent out of a mess if you give it a little thought & time 😉
