I love your formula with the cute outtake at the beginning, your logo and mini portfolio over music, your cute greeting, your very tasteful but not pushy reminder that subscribing is an option, and your little cup. It makes the whole thing feel very conversational and natural. Great content, really.
I watched this about 6 months ago and whilst I enjoyed it, I had no clue how to do what you just did ... I just watched it again and BINGO! I get it! My messing about and practice I am hoping will pay off eventually! Thank you Joanie, love your videos xx
I've always been an outdoor and portrait photographer and have recently taken on food photography for work. It's a whole different ball park and your videos have been so helpful for someone like me. I doubt you'll see this but you're fantastic. Your enthusiasm makes it less intimidating and more exciting to take on. keep on keepin on!
You are the real deal.. Love how you use anything to help with lighting your scene. Your walking us through your editing workflow was perfect. THANK YOU!
My friend, you are one awesome everything! I truly dig your tutorials. I am glad I stumbled upon your channel. You are one of the most honest, caring and loving presenter on TH-cam. Thanks so much for sharing.
Very impressed. Right from word go, your dress sense alone suggested that you had the knowledge, confidence and natural style to be good at processing quality into photographs.Great video.
Joanie, this was a great video. I love your style of teaching and how you explain things. I am an experienced photographer (with gear) that is just now moving into food photography. As you said in one of your vids, I know enough to get a job, but I also don't know what I don't know. The intricacies of the food genre are what I don't know, so thank you for giving me a jump start on my food photography journey.
Been lurking for a while, first time chiming in. LOVE your content! Not a food photographer myself, but your material has so many applications in all genres of photography. You have amazing instructional technique and great charisma on camera. Keep on truckin'!!! Your channel is going to be huge!
I have been looking for a channel like yours for so long! All you tips and explanations are so detailed and so incredibly useful. Thank you for the amazing content you create for your viewers! :)
I just happened to stumble across this channel and I immediately had to follow it! Your simplistic way of teaching, energy, personality, all amazing! You’ve gained a follower!
I have practiced using wax paper folded in as many layers as needed per plate in studio. Nice diffusion, more opaque. In restaurant, I have used white saucer works as a bounce. I LOVE your channel !! You are a TRUE pro passing it forward. Class act!
Where have you been all ma’life?? 😃❤️🙏🏼 Thank you sooo much for your time in making these videos and for the willingness to share your tips. This is real entrepreneurship, to pass it along and create that ripple effect of creativity and service to others! 😊
I can't express how much I love this video. Your pacing is so good so I don't miss any information you provide in this video. Food photography is the one thing I struggle so much in the photography world. Like I'm struggling on how to control the lights, camera settings, especially aperture. I have fast lenses although I'm only shooting on an APS-C camera body. I know it's not all, but I think the aperture settings is what I'm struggling with the most. And finding this video hopefully will improve at least a bit of my food photography skill, not only on dark food photography, but in overall food photography. So, thank you very much!
I'm not really into food photography until today that watched your videos. The vibes you gave while sharing your skills on food photography made it looks so easy. This might be right time to practice food photography using your awesome videos since we always stay indoors. Thank you and stay safe!
Just got started watching your channel and I'm loving it! I don't know if you started doing this in your later videos, but I am a very visual learner (as well as tactile), and something that would help me is to see a side-by-side of the before editing and after editing photos after the editing process. Some of those changes were very subtle to my untrained eye, and I believe that the comparison would help. :)
I have watched a lot of differentt videos in the past months. VERY good presentation. I have not tried food yet but I will today. P.S. My wife loves your haircut!!!.
I love that these techniques aren't just for food, but really any still/close photography. I can see exactly how these could transfer to product photography (which I do more of). But great tips and great presentation!
Thanks so much for this video! I only shoot food for fun, but this actually really helped me with my professional photography that pays the bills. Seeing how you built your set & controlled your lighting was so instructional, and my very next shoot on black was so much better after watching this; much cleaner background and softer lighting on my subject. Judging by comments you've gone from ~6K subs to 30K in 3 months and I'm not the least bit surprised - you deserve them all!
Awsome vid Joanie. Love the way you guy's in the US hack up foam core, for flags and bounce cards. Here in Australia this is cringe worthy, foam core costs the same as a soft box LOL. Not quite but $22.00 per A3 is the norm. After watching this twice it had me heading straight to the shooting table. Thank's for your efforts.
Yes babe, you’re out of control! I love your photography I’ve been doing photography for so long and I thought I was the only one that had stuff stacked around model light modifiers I love your work awesome job
Just getting into food photography and love your videos! Your my favorite lady to watch on TH-cam. Always great advice and beautiful photos to learn from. Just wanted to say thanks
Awesome work... very in-depth ☺️ the controls you have over the original image. It’s really planed to the minute details. Cheers. Pretty inspiring stuff
I really enjoyed watching this tutorial from you. :) You are so much fun to watch. This is so helpful because we really want to do dark photography style for our baking biz and we have so much to learn. I really like the practical tips you gave on the setting up and most of all in maximizing the use of Lightroom to bring out the best in the shot.
I'm a DP in film, also a Photographer and it's amazing to see how the same techniques of lighting a scene with Actors/Actresses is just THIS on a larger scale. My photography has helped me develop better skills as a Director of Photography just based on lighting and telling a story in 1 frame. Great Job!! Love your channel and your energy. Cheers
I subscribed to your phenomenal channel here about two weeks ago now. You had 3K followers then and now you're almost at 6K already!! You're absolutely Crushing it! And it's all because you are yourself and produce quality content. It's awesome and we all appreciate it madam. Keep up the amazing work!
Dangomit . . . I'm going to continue to say this, you're incredibly awesome for sharing this information with us and I'm learning tons. Greatest gain from this video was how to edit Mood Food Photography in Lightroom. THANK YOU, JOANIE!!
It's really amazing how you make it look so easy. I subscribed to your channel after 5 minutes. Congratulations. I will recommend you to my friends. Please keep up with your awesome work.
Really loved it, it was finally you who made it interesting, i liked a lot the funny/ cool mood you poured into doing this, so you have a new follower!
This was awsome and very well explained with all your thought process. I really appreciated that 😁 If I could just suggest something; I found it difficult to follow and really get in the picture while you were editing because you were changing the view from the computer and back to you constantly, maybe you could use the space of the navigator window inside lightroom to insert your frame and give more time to the screen with you in it, and only take us out to you alone for in depth explanations of your edit. That way I think it would have a very fluid effect on the viewer but more importantly, would give us time to appreciate and understand the changes in the edit you just made. Nonetheless, you have an awsome way of explaining. Thank you! And cheers from Mexico!
Hi! Thank you for this interesting video. It would be nice to see a before/after image to compare what effects your editing had. Thank you in advance! :-)
Just discovered you and I can't get enough. Binged watched a few and they are all so informative and helpful, Thank you!! ok so I need to put down youtube now and get some work done. Thanks again for the inspiration.
Dear Joanie, your energy and talent are great, I immediately subscribed after seeing the first video. I particularly liked this tutorial since dark photography is a very interesting subject. Maybe a little off topic, but could you tell me a little more about the wood base you used? I love real wood elements in the pictures, but it's not easy to find small, light, movable pieces of real, old looking, interesting wood. Thanks!
I love your formula with the cute outtake at the beginning, your logo and mini portfolio over music, your cute greeting, your very tasteful but not pushy reminder that subscribing is an option, and your little cup. It makes the whole thing feel very conversational and natural. Great content, really.
probably the only channel on youtube where there's not a single negative comment. "stay out of trouble", you get me man.
I watched this about 6 months ago and whilst I enjoyed it, I had no clue how to do what you just did ... I just watched it again and BINGO! I get it! My messing about and practice I am hoping will pay off eventually! Thank you Joanie, love your videos xx

Honest ,pure, and simple...dark photography always attracts me.Thank you for this great info mam
Very impressed. Right from word go, your dress sense alone suggested that you had the knowledge, confidence and natural style to be good at processing quality into photographs.Great video.
This is what I call "A very good Teacher" thank you!
I've never been so hyped about food photography than I have been watching this video.
YES!!! That's awesome!!!
And I've never been so hyped about any other food photographer than I have been watching this video ))) Thanks a lot just for being.
Joanie, this was a great video. I love your style of teaching and how you explain things. I am an experienced photographer (with gear) that is just now moving into food photography.

This channel somehow anticipates every food photog question I've ever casually wondered

This is hands down the most informative video I’ve watched on dark food photography and food photography in general. Thank you so much for the info!
Thanks so much for this video! I only shoot food for fun, but this actually really helped me with my professional photography that pays the bills.
