The story
A phone, a plate and the right window
Why I started
I wanted the photo to taste like the meal
It began with a bowl of noodles that looked grey on my screen and golden in real life. I moved one seat closer to the window and everything changed.
Since then I have chased that light everywhere: kitchen windowsills, café corners, steaming night stalls. I shoot on a phone because that is what you have in your pocket too.
The kit here is what I actually carry. If it is in the bag, it has earned its place.
“I never shoot food I would not happily eat. If it is good, the light will find it.”
What I care about
How I choose the kit
Light first
Nothing replaces a good window. Gear should help you use the light, not fight it.
Light to carry
If it does not fit a jacket pocket or a small bag, it stays at home.
Honest picks
I only list what I use myself, and I will always answer questions before you buy.
