Photos taken by Ricoh GrIII, natural light at the cafe, touched up a little with brightness.

Various light setups, majority are one light aside from 1,5 and 8 where i used one more for fill.

Sony A7rV with the 90mm Canon Tilt Shift and for top downs I use the Sony 24-70

I like the light but I always feel like I fall short on making a standout image.

Picked up my fist camera about a month ago and did this food photography shoot. looking for criticism or advice! I used a Sony a6700 with a tamron 17-70. A neewer cb100c 130W with a 35” soft box & honey comb grid for my fill light. Also added a flash that I bounced off some white card board. Next up is photographing wings. Would love some advice on that!

I have a sigma 10-17 too I’ve been trying to use but don’t know where to apply it.

After lurking in this subreddit reading everyone's tips. Finally shot something I wanted to share. Big thanks to this awesome community. Will keep working at it.

Why do photos look wrong only after you look at them again? 😭

What can i do besides putting the prawn shell on the right dow

Thanks for looking just needing critiques to see if I’m going in right direction. Thanks

All shots taken with a Fujifilm XT3, Fujinon 50mm F.2 R WR. Shot at F2.8, shutter speed auto. Light used is the Neeweer 660 Pro. Can't seem to figure out how to get a softer quality of light without making everything look flat. I've tried bouncing the light, dimming the power, and various poor-man's methods of diffusing the light. Also having a problem with blowing out my highlights. I've resorted to underexposing and attempting to adjust in post but it just doesn't look right when I do this. Do I have my light placed too close to the subject? Trying to learn with continuous because purchasing a strobe (even a cheap one) will be out of my budget for a very long while. The light I got was gifted.

Took these last night after previous critiques. Working on lighting and framing. Nikon d850, 50 mm and 135mm lens soft box with alien bee strobe reflector used on opposite side
