Your videos are timeless. I can never tell if it's been mad 5 days ago or 5 years. You also don't age so good on you for this genes! Thank you for all the tips and tricks as always! Lastly, good luck with everything on the start of your new training coarse!
It looks so delicious, simple and appetizing. Delicious cooked, I like how simple the recipe is. I will try to cook it with great pleasure, following your instructions.
Great ideas & here's another. I keep my props in a cheap tackle box. Saves time and you're not hunting all over the kitchen or wherever for your bag 'a tricks. And thanks for all your videos!
I'm working on product photography (not food) and this is really helpful. I learned real quick that propping with adhesive tack or with wedges was A THING that I was going to need. I'm using recyclables right now since my studio is at my work and we go through so much cardboard and foam.
To avoid round bottle from rolling all over the set, I pick toothpicks on both sides of the bottle so the bottle label stay in place. Toothpicks are small and can be easily hidden under product. They work like magic.
Great video! Tip: Another great use for Kitchen Bouquet is mixing it with water to make fake beverages like coffee, tea, cola (with club soda), whiskey, etc.
In case this helps people building their kit on a budget, I was able to find the following items at the dollar store: - Plates & Cups & Bowls of various styles - silverware (and other kitchen utensils/supplies) - Toothpicks - q-tips (tho not the makeup ones) - makeup sponges/wedges - paint brushes - spray bottle - plastic bin to keep kit in And there might be other useful stuff there too depending on what you are doing. Don't be afraid to go cheap on some things, because as long as it looks good on camera that's all that matters.
Would you do a video on what all kitchen gear do you in stock? I mean plates, bowls, silverware, cutting boards etc. etc. How much of your own stuff do you keep and how much do you source as a shoot demands?
Thrift stores are a great source of props. You are at the mercy of what is available on any given day, but over time you can build up a collection far below retail prices. I find quality dishes and bowls like Crate and Barrel, West Elm, etc., one or two at a time. Also, vintage kitchen utensils have lots of character after a bit of cleaning.
OMG!! I have just discovered this channel and it is amazing. I am so bad at styling my food shots, usually because I'm in a hurry to actually serve up the dish. Learning so much and hopefully will start actually constructing a set. Glad this video is on pasta as that is what I do... Thanks so much for your amazing insight and all your tips and tricks.
Extremely useful video on tools for food styling and I marked a lot of them for Amazon. Thanks again! I usually do a number of food photo projects before Christmas.
Great idea regarding the water and glycerin spray. I have used this spray on flowers but, I am not (yet) a food photographer. I love your channel! I did have a friend (when I was stationed with the Navy in Virginia) who was a food photographer but, didn't keep in touch with him after I was transferred. I do remember a couple of tricks that he swore by... 1. He had some fake plastic ice cubes for drink photos 2. He used lard instead of vanilla ice cream 3. He swore that Coca Cola looked better in a coffee cup than does regular black coffee (I don't know about coffee with creamer) 4. Along your ideas of using Kitchen Bouquet to color meats, he would use brown liquid shoe polish to replicate sear marks on steaks 5. He had a selection of Styrofoam pieces cut into all sorts of shapes and sizes that he would use to prop up dishes 6. He always had a wide roll of double stick tape to stabilize things 7. He used a lint roller (the kind you clean dog hair off your clothes with) to clean up the crumbs on table around his food
I am a professional food stylist and this video came up on my feed. So I happened to click. I think you have a great presence on camera and love the quality of your videos. I work on film, editorial and commercial photography. I just have to say that as someone who has done this for over 15 years we do not paint the meatballs. We would cook them to the perfect color. KB is used quite a bit for many different coloring uses. You were correct that glycerin and water are used for droplets. Many times we just use plain water as well. For melting cheese on burgers we never use dry heat. It is moist heat. There is a huge difference.
wow, this is the first good styling video I’ve seen as the idea for the career just came to me. My two big loves are beauty & food an I knew there had to be a way to combine them… so cool to see you use the makeup tools ! I’m inspired !
This video is so helpful, thank you so much for sharing these tips! One small thing I was missing, though, was more examples (final images) of where you had used the different items, even if they're not visible. It would just have helped visualize how to use these objects a little more. The bagel shot was so helpful!
Thank you for your tips, love it so much. Been a chef for 10 years and now planning to move on from my four wall kitchen and stove to a more vibrant scenario haha
Joanie, food styling has always been my kryptonite! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for taking the mystery out of styling...OMG I can't wait to try these.
I don't usually comment in youtube videos but WOW, I've learned so much from you!! I'm taking a photography class now and you've inspired me to do food photography and so far out of all the TH-cam videos I've watched, yours is the best! Thank you again!! ☺️💜
Just subscribed..This will help with my own food pics..Loads of great tips which hopefully will take me to the next level..I only have an Iphone at the moment but i need to really to invest in a DSLR to help with low light situations and those super cool macro shots etc..
I am still a newbie, but one thing that I used a lot with my first shots was squares of some fabric that was from some leggings that I had worn out and cut into rags. I kept them damp and used them to wipe up wet spills or splashes as well as the surface I was shooting on. I didn't always have paper towels.
Great tips! I love cooking, but I am still learning more about photography/food styling for my TH-cam channel and social media accounts. You were very helpful to me and I have learned so much just from your video! I loved the make up sponge idea to give your food a little height! I would have never thought of that. I don't have those make up sponges, but will will get some now. I appreciate your honesty! Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
Just discovered your channel. You're a GREAT communicator, your videos are a pleasure to watch, apart from containing tons of real tips. Subscribed! :-)
I've got to get some t-pins and a feathered makeup brush. Your candor is genuine and thank you again for another great video. Oh and love the "game/food styling face.
Thanks for the tips! I recently created a food website but am struggling with taking good pics of my food! I only have one good pic that I like so far and needed to know how I could get those picture perfect food shots. 🙌🏽

Wow! This was so interesting! I had no idea the amount of artistic work that goes into filming food!! Thanks for sharing. I just learned something new today :)
im so happy I found your channel! love your videos. I just painted my own backgrounds tonight. this video will help with my styling tomorrow. thanks for sharing!!
Seriously started to freak my Mrs out after watching this when I started raiding her make up drawer and asking her about the types of sponges and eye lash tweezers she uses 😂😂
Hi Joanne, thanks for the educational video as always! Just wondered what your thoughts were on food waste and minimising it when shooting food? You mentioned not wanting to eat the meatballs 😅 which is totally understandable, yet for myself I try as much as possible to consume the things I shoot (photography is just a hobby for me) - And because I’m a beginner, it makes me very afraid to a) make more than my household could reasonably eat and b) make a mistake/ruin the few attempts I have. Curious to know your thoughts? 😊 thank you!
Wow, I really love your channel! I started making photos for my own blog and I do it with my cell phone for I really don't have a lot of money. But now clients like local coffee shops are starting to write me on Instagram asking me to shoot their meals for their own accounts and I'm scared! I'm not a professional food stylist or photographer! Your channel is really helping me to feel confident and make the leap (and practice my English) so thank you!

As a retoucher, I want to thank you for all the cleanup tips for the photographers/stylists 😜
Great ideas & here's another. I keep my props in a cheap tackle box. Saves time and you're not hunting all over the kitchen or wherever for your bag 'a tricks. And thanks for all your videos!
Natural. Fluid. Poised. Knowledgeable. Hugely entertaining. You are a perfect human being. Thank you!

Actually, the products I'm shooting are lighters like the torch you used.
My food photos about to be next level after watching this. Thanks for sharing.
I’m from Brazil and there are no good youtube channels like yours. You are fantastic! Grateful for your tips and help!
Thank you so much Joanie for sharing all those useful tips! God bless you!
I am so jealous...that pepper grinder is to die for! Awesome tips. Thanks, Joanie!
I know, right? I tried to get him to make a bunch of them for me to sell on Etsy, but he decided he wants to enjoy retirement :)
I'm not sure if he lied or ifsomeone decided to make that same pepper mill but there you go
Amazon.con / pepper mill grinder
I need to say this, i'm watching because i need ice cream tips for photography, and then I got hooked on your personality and the pro tips
To avoid round bottle from rolling all over the set, I pick toothpicks on both sides of the bottle so the bottle label stay in place. Toothpicks are small and can be easily hidden under product. They work like magic.
Thank you so much for your sense of humor and quality tips. I'm loving watching every single video you have.
Great video!
Tip: Another great use for Kitchen Bouquet is mixing it with water to make fake beverages like coffee, tea, cola (with club soda), whiskey, etc.
Soy sauce is great for this as well!
In case this helps people building their kit on a budget, I was able to find the following items at the dollar store:

So many nuggets of food styling wisdom, thank you! How lucky are you to have such a beautiful pepper grinder.

Cool
@@TheBiteShot can you eat glicerin? I mean after you spray it on your food can you it the food after you shoot it or you have to discard it?
This is one of those videos that merits two or even three views. Just perfect. Thank you.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the expertise
Thanks for your great videos. If you want to see my work it is here. Www.laurabednarski.com
Would a steamer be a good source of moist heat?
Terry Thomas yes that is what we use. Especially processed cheeses.
wow, this is the first good styling video I’ve seen as the idea for the career just came to me. My two big loves are beauty & food an I knew there had to be a way to combine them… so cool to see you use the makeup tools ! I’m inspired !
Awesome! Definitely a lot of overlap in the industries. Thanks for watching!
I love the audio, food styling and everything. Thank you for this video..
Wow so many helpful tips, and without rambling clear and well explained. Thank you
I am starting up as a food photographer & I must say your videos are of great help. Keep up the great work.
I have also used paper towel as a reflector and also as a diffuser for my on camera flash and LED lights.
my daughter uses a white plastic bag (like from the supermarket), she blows it up, ties the end off n uses that to help with light :)
wow! a whole new world just opened for me! Thank you for bring so specific about everything! And the passion!
