The excellently grew some raspberries in our garden, the landlord planted couple of bushes at the fence and we didn’t even know about them until our grass cut a robot that stuck in it. Couple of raspberries appeared in the middle of October, I didn’t expect to see any this time of the year. It was a late afternoon and all the snow natural light outside but I still wanted to take couple of pictures of those beauties. I will share a preset with you that you can get for your artificial light food photography. I have a very simple one light source setup here for this photo.

Darker and lighter preset

You get 2 presets. One for a darker and one for a lighter result. They are the same, except the exposure adjustment. having both speeds up the process depending on the brightness of your original shot. I find it helpful if shooting with an auto ISO setting and getting different exposures.

Here is an example of a brighter initial image I took:

The Iso was 640.

Here is the Preset for a brighter initial photo, it’s perfect.

Here is the Preset for a darker initial photo, it’s too bright here.

Here is an example of a darker initial image I took

I shot it at ISO 200.

Here is the Preset for a brighter initial photo, it’s too dark.

Here is the Preset for a brighter initial photo, I love it.

As always. Adjust EVERYTHING you like. Especially the exposure, the color balance, and also the Hue and Saturation of the colors. I like the green slightly bluish and the overall image cooler, but you do you!
