Can a dark photo also be bright?

Is a moody photo always dark? 

What does dark & moody photography really mean?

As food photographers we are visual storytellers and the most powerful way to tell a story is by creating a mood. Mood is the key to evoke emotions & make a viewer feel like they’re present in that scene. 

But as powerful as mood is, creating a moody photo requires a good understanding of light..

… Because think of it, what creates mood, really?

Props and colors, yes but it is the light that makes us feel fresh or cozy or romantic or calm when we look at a photo.

Today I have the phenomenal food photographer, Haniyeh Nikoo sharing everything and I mean everything, about dark and moody photography. 

Hani is a master at creating mood in photos & she talks about gear, how she creates beautiful moody light, common mistakes in dark & moody photography, the power of editing & instagram’s response to  dark moody photography. 

There are a lot of misconceptions about dark & moody food photography. By understanding the fundamentals & technicalities, we can create more powerful photos but also demonstrate a solid understanding of light. The best part is that Hani breaks it all down in the most fun and easy way.
