The kitchen lighting department

TIKTOK CAPTION
When the pasta is ready but its lighting team is still in a meeting. Who else moves the plate to a window? #FoodPhotography

THREADS POST
The overhead kitchen light makes every dinner photo look like evidence. Then you send it to a friend and they just want the sauce recipe. An excellent audience.

FIRST COMMENT
