~Estonian ProverbGetting it Right on White: As we all know from looking at menus, ads and cookbooks, presenting food on a pure white surface or background is extremely popular. Which makes sense—it allows the colors, details & textures of the food to pop with vibrancy & crispness. So here are a few shots from last week demonstrating how a correct white balance setting is your friend. 
Helpful Hints: To achieve a daylight appearance with your lighting, you’ll want to stay in the mid-range of the Kelvin scale…around 5,500k is considered ‘noontime sun’…so aim for that (keep in mind you may have to compensate for what the camera sees by adjusting the WB settings when shooting/processing). Also, mixing artificial light with natural light can really makes things difficult with balancing color temp–so try to pick one or the other.
