Hello, I’m Yinka

I started photographing my mother’s cooking because the food looked so much better than my pictures of it. I learned in a kitchen with one window, one white card and a table, and I still shoot there.

I teach the shots as a chain. The overhead shot and window light come first. Side light, steam and garnish come next, each one built on the ones before. By the end, a picture of a bowl of soup uses all of them.

I sell the cards, workbook and presets I use myself, and two video courses. I do not sell cameras, lights or props, and I do not shoot for hire. I show you how to photograph your own food.
