Leave any green tops on and don’t scrub off all the dirt.

Natural lighting on a natural surface are two things that make food styling raw ingredients much easier...

Is shooting Raw Meat an easy task ?

Answer is NO ..!

Capturing a piece of Meat will be a real challenge to make it look appealing on camera..as you need to focus on different points:

First of all you need to make sure you have good looking meat from the colour (not brown ) to the texture.. and also sharp knife is necessary for cutting.

secondly choose the right lighting , start with backlighting. Preferably daylight and if possible from top. If you go too low, the meat will be too shiny..

Natural wooden backdrops is an ideal choice for such photos..

Before you buy a fish, keep in mind the following..!!

Seafood Photography is one of my favourite. you can get an elegant image Specially when you choose the right fresh fish for shooting..

But first avoid buying frozen or damage fish, It should look healthy :)

Pick an attractive textured fish,, medium size is perfect for photo shooting..

Use a plain backdrops ,dark colours like grey and black are awesome.

Add some other colourful elements like slices of lemons. Or even some smashed ice cubes.. will give you a perfect look :)
