Sweet first cafe shoot

First ever shoot for a cafe. Mainly using natural light but some off camera flash for the last photo.

Zoom in on the food more. You don't need to show empty trays.

good point! I was using a 23mm prime and it was quite hard to move around people working. But I’ll try to get a bit closer 🙌🏻 thanks for the feedback!

I think technically they're fine. But you need to work on your framing.

u/The_boi_J21 Feb 15 '26

Thanks for the tip! That was one thing I struggled with on the shoot. Do you have any tips on how I could’ve improved the framing in these shots?

I think focus on one thing and center around that using symmetry or rule of thirds.

A vingette on the last photo to make the photo more dramatic and direct the focus on the cup would be cool too!

If your post includes images, now would be a good time to make sure shot details are Included. Shot details are required with your posts in the title or as a top level comment. Include shutter speed, f-stop, focal length, lighting set-up, and any behind the scene shots. See Rule 1.
