The truth is—and I know you’ve heard this a million times—people eat with their eyes. Food photos are what draw people to your blog and make them want more. Without high quality drool-worthy photos, it can be a bit tough to lure people in when your main topic is food. 

That said, when I first starting learning more about food photography, I was a bit intimidated. I recall making a “needs” list that totaled close to $3,000. A quick reality check proved that I had to make do with what I had, and that’s exactly what I’ve done.

All of the photos you see on my blog and in this eBook were taken with a Canon Rebel T3i, aka a “basic” DSLR camera. But guess what? My photos have improved tremendously and I’ve learned that you CAN take beautiful, dreamy, mouth-watering photos without a fancy camera. 

Just as proof, here is improvement I’ve made using the EXACT SAME CAMERA:

Kale then then now copy

Pretty cool, huh? 

I wanted to put together a book filled with all of the tips and tricks I’ve learned so far, with an emphasis on food styling and editing since owning a DSLR camera alone won’t make your photos stand out. Through trial and error, I’ve learned how to make my photos stand out all while staying within my budget. Food photography is an expensive hobby, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. This book will teach you how to survive in this crazy food blog world on a limited budget. The Food Photography and Styling for Bloggers on a Budget eBook is only $17 but for ONE WEEK ONLY, meaning come Monday, February 8, the price will go up, so be sure to snag your copy today!

What you’ll learn:

  • Photography basics: shutter speed, aperture, ISO
  • The importance of light
  • Affordable props and how to utilize them
  • How to style specific ingredients
  • How to style an entire photo shoot from start to finish
  • How to make your photos POP and stand out
  • My editing process and the must-do’s to every photo
  • Examples of my photography set up+what the finished photos look like

    Erin, this is an awesome resource! You’re right, you don’t need a fancy camera to take photos! LOVE the before and after photos that you’ve taken with the same camera!

  3. Jess @hellotofit says:

    I think I have the Nikon equivalent…it’s a D3300 which I think is pretty basic. I have a 50mm 1.8 lens, but want to save up for the 1.4. So so happy you have released an e-book!! You know I love your food photography, and it’s been amazing to see your style progress and improve.

    1. Erin says:

      Thanks Jess! Yes, the D3300 is the Nikon entry level camera, and I use the 50mm 1.8 lens too. Quality photos are possible even with beginner cameras! 🙂

    Just what I need — perfect!!

    What camera do you shoot with?

    1. Erin says:

      Canon Rebel T3i! It’s actually discontinued because it’s the older model, but it’s equivalent to the current T5i!

  6. Catherine @ foodiecology says:

    Awesome! I desperately need to invest in my food photography – right now, even the most basic DSLR is out of your budget, though.
    Congrats on launching the book! Looks likes fantastic resource.

    1. Erin says:

      Thanks Catherine, and I totally know that feeling. When you’re ready for the investment, I highly recommend the Canon Rebel. It’s a great place to start, and heck, I’m STILL using it!
