Where to find customers.

Hey all! Does anyone know how to get customers? I’m guessing it’s mainly through word of mouth, but I’d love to hear how others have broken into the industry. I have a large food photography portfolio, mainly for US websites, and would love to transition into photographing in person locally . Any advice or contacts would be hugely appreciated

Natural light w/ Flash

Natural light for the ambient lighting (which changed drastically within minutes). Ad600 with a Neewer 40cmx40cm soft box (with grid).

The sun was sneaking through the lattice on the restaurants patio, so I want the strobe to just mimic sun light similar to how it came through the lattice. But controlled. Thus the small soft box and grid.

Canon EOS R, RF 24-105 f/4, mostly shot at f/10, iso 100-250 depending on what the sun was doing.

More of a challenging shoot but I’m always down for a challenge. Client was beyond happy with them.

Helpful CC welcome!

First professional job

I love shooting food for fun. What I'm eating where I am. But local bar and Grill wanted door dash photos made. After research I tried to make it as simple as possible. Ans thoughts for future jobs?

T-Bone in cast iron - hero shot + detail shot, looking for feedback on styling and composition

Hi everyone! Looking for feedback on these two shots from the same T-bone session; a hero shot and a detail/close-up.

Looking for general critique, food styling feedback, and also something I've been noticing in my own work: I tend to always place the main subject in the rule of thirds intersection. Curious if that's coming across as too formulaic or if it's working here.

Shot on Nikon D300, 105mm macro lens, cast iron skillet. T-bone with chimichurri, rosemary and roasted garlic. Thanks in advance! 🙏

#1= 50mm, 1/320, f/3.2, ISO 200

#2= 105mm, 1/160, f/6.3, ISO 200

Mahi Taco

A quick snap before I chowed down. Mahi buried under a slew of slaw. Natural light at my kitchen table. R5, 35/1.8

Over-engineered a cocktail: Filmed a Porn Star Martini with a Shark Slider & RS4 🍸🎥

I decided my classic Porn Star Martini needed the most overkill camera rig possible. So, I strapped a DJI Ronin RS4 to an iFootage Shark slider, and here we are.
Here is the final video, plus a backstage look at the chaos!
The Setup:
Camera: Sony A7S3 + Tamron 28-70mm (S-Log3 @ 100fps for those slow-mo)
Motion: iFootage Shark Slider + DJI Ronin RS4
Lighting: Nanlite Pavotubes (with grid) + an extra diffused light
Honestly, the hardest part was not drinking the prop before I got the lighting dialed in.
