Kristen here – Katie’s amazing food photos are proof that you don’t need a fancy DSLR for great food photography. A simple point & shoot camera and some simple tips are all you need.

Blog Name: goodLife {eats}
Equipment Used: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5, point and shoot

Setup Details: Set up in my small dining room to take advantage of morning light. Used a foam board to reflect light.
Props: Placemat, Plates, Napkin

This gives me hope, since all I have is my husband’s point and shoot! I love this website and will definitely be studying it a lot more in the future when I get a better camera!
