The Best Equipment for Food Photography

I'm your food photography guru sharing photography tips, equipment ideas and business advice to help you improve your photography skills and navigate the world of food photography a little easier.

Please note that I am a Nikon and FujiFilm photographer and the gear I am listing is compatible for Nikon and FujiFilm. Make sure that your lenses and studio gear are compatible with your camera brands and models.
