Lemon Meringue Pie

As a well-seasoned food photographer, we can get into the habit of always shooting our go-to light. It's safe, we know it. We know it gets results.

Then sometimes, we are blessed with light changing and we see this renewed sense of magic.

Like this somewhat harsh natural light on this Lemon Meringue Pie. But then, I am no stranger to blowing out my highlights. The vast contrast between the lights and darks in this image is what makes it for me.

Being a food photographer, I've shot a lot of different cuisines and styles of food.
Whilst I do like to eat fresh and healthy produce, I am a total sucker for a dessert after dinner.

But I love to shoot sweet foods more than savoury simply due to sugar. That sticky, shiny thing called sugar glistens in the sun and makes everything infinitely better.

Like this sticky lemon drizzle! Need I say more?

We just went with the one shot, here. Usually I like to explore more with my work, but this shot just made itself, effortlessly.
