Many photographers often want to shoot only with natural light. Unfortunately, natural light is not always ideal either. It can be very harsh, and create moments when you would rather not take photographs. That is when a flash can help.

But that is not what this video by food photographer Brandon Figureoa is about. In this very informative video, he perfectly explains where beautiful natural light comes from, and how you can imitate it in a studio using simple means.

The great thing about this video is that Brandon Figureoa not only shows you how to create a beautiful setup, he also perfectly explains why the light is so beautiful.

It gives you insight and understanding, so you can get started yourself. Not just for food photography, but for other applications too.
