Friday March 28, 2025, professional photographer Haydn Bartlett shared the secrets to capturing high-quality food and product images in a practical demonstration. Using examples of his own work, he gave members invaluable advice for producing stunning images that transformed humble food products into a work of art.
Among the tips he introduced members to lighting setups to utilise daylight from a window or flash, and ways of reflecting the light to provide pleasing shadows. Haydn explained that he had not only to be a photographer but a food stylist.
Following Haydn’s talk, he gave members the opportunity to try some shots for themselves using a bowl of soup and vegetable trimmings. This turned out to be a very popular activity with some excellent results. (photos by John Chamberlain.)
