As a food and hospitality photographer, I'm always looking for ways to improve my skills and try out new techniques. However, when I'm on a shoot with a client, there isn't always time to experiment and play around with different lighting or composition ideas.

That's why I've found that home cooking is such a valuable tool for me. Even though I'm not a professional chef or cook, I know what visually looks appealing and can use that knowledge to create dishes that are not only tasty but also aesthetically pleasing.

When I'm photographing my homemade meals, I have the freedom to try out different lighting setups, experiment with composition, and play around with backgrounds and props. It's a low-pressure environment where I can take my time and really focus on honing my skills.

And the best part is, I can use these images in my portfolio or show them to clients as examples of my work. They may not be professional shoots, but they still showcase my abilities as a photographer and demonstrate my creativity and attention to detail and they are authentically me.

Home cooking has been an invaluable tool for me as a food and hospitality photographer. It allows me to practice and experiment in a low-pressure environment, and helps me to continue improving my skills and impressing my clients.
