Exposing the Perfect Plate: Light Metering and Composition in Food Photography
In food photography, perfect exposure is not an accident — it is a deliberate, measurable act. Every shadow that reveals texture, every highlight that catches the glisten of a glaze, every gradient from the brightest white plate to the darkest background is the result of precise metering decisions made before the shutter clicks.
Through eight structured lessons, you will calibrate your eye and your camera together: mastering the exposure triangle without post-processing reliance, reading your meter against the Zone System, and translating colour temperature and saturation into vivid ingredient photography. The course closes with composition — negative space, depth of field, and the deliberate arrangement of a plate within the frame. It is a self-paced 3-credit course where a learner can proceed at his or her own pace.
