is this kit good for food photography?

Good Question! I use this kit for vintage and antique jewelry photography. The company has a really good website that might address this. However, like the other respondents, I don't know why not.

I see no reason why not. The fluorescent lights are cool and would not adversely affect food.

The lighting package was inferior--I never got good lighting from it, however the plastic backdrop is amazing, I couldn't do without it (I am a papercrafter and photograph my handmade cards, so nothing tall or big)

yes I have done some food works great I like it because it does not stain hope this help you out

Not having tried food with it, I can't say for sure, but I also can't see why not. As others have said, easy clean up, good for small products, good lights.
917615
Yes, this will work very well for food photography. And since it is made of plastic it will be very easy to clean if any food gets on it.

I agree with the other comments, as long as you are not shooting something massive, like a whole buffet spread. This company does make a larger version, however. It is a bit pricey, and of course the larger one more so, but the plastic background is just terrific to use, especially compared to fabric backgrounds. Another reason this is a good choice for food photography is the lamps run cool, so your food won't melt!

Sure. I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine for food. I have the kit and use it all the time fo small products.

I've used for portraits in a pinch. It does the job, but you have to stand back a bit. You're better off using your kit lens if you have it available. Much easier.

It does it's job but depending on how professional you want it to look I would look around for something else. I am an event planner and use mine to do green screen photography at events. The material is very, very thin and you can see through it. If you are putting it up against a white wall then you should be fine but anything else I would reconsider. A lot of catering halls have floral wall paper and it always interferes with my pictures. Also, you have to make sure you have the right amount of lighting or the screen will not come out green and it will be hard to use the program.

Great, Thank you for your kind acknowledgement, do yourself a favor, don't try to save few bucks on the piece of equipment, as it WILL hamper your creative possibilities, trust me! I AM your OLDER gentleman, who happens to know a thing or two about taking a decent picture!

Nice kit, if all you ever want is head on lighting. I like the ability to dim it, but that said you can always easily add gels to the light box. I prefer the lightbox because I can place them where ever I need to achieve the effect I want, then I'm free to go where ever I need with the camera. Its all down to preference and the results desired. If I wasn't on a budget I'd buy the Dimmab just for the hell of it and so that I had it there to play with if the need arose, but I'd still have to have my light boxes.

Yes with the proper photo paper you will get excellent photos. Hope this helps you.

I think it will fit your needs. In fact, we bought this camera to take picture of our home, it came out well. Even the pictures in low light turned out good. I am not an experienced photographer as well, so you can use this like a point and shoot

It was recommended by our photography teacher but we haven't tried it yet. Good luck.

I take a lot of photos indoors and this works well. You might have to experiment a bit with angles to avoid shadows from the flash but it's pretty easy to manage once you try a few shots. I would also suggest using a free online photo editor if you are just starting out with photography. PicMonkey is free, easy to use, and can really help clean up photos, as well as boost colors, sharpness, etc. You can crop, lighten, add frames, etc.

this camera would be fine, but what you'll really need is a macro lens. this is just the body of the camera, so you'll need the regular kit lens and then a macro piece (i found a really cheap one once that doubled as a wide angle lens for about $12). hope that helps!

Yes. Some of the things in the kit, in my opinion are low quality, but for the price, it's a great deal.

Yes, definately! Its dual nature will allow you to shoot both great photographs and really good video! It is also light and compact. The goodies included in thi pack are also great additions and most useful tools!

Yes, I would say so. I have two small ones I use on tea pictures. Works great!
939836
I agree. Make sure your lens is decent. Other than that it takes great photos!

I am by no means a proffesional photographer and I have not had a chance to use this kit much. But the little amount of usage that I have got out of it , I would have to say it has served my purpose and I am satisfied with this purchase.

Yep! Check it the accessory kits that have tripods in them, really like those too

I have never used it for regular photography, but I am sure it could work..I am not sure about using the piece. I only have shot video with it, and I use the LCD. I have used a loupe with it before as well
