Bounce! If you have a bit of white Styrofoam lying around (maybe from a package or something), use this in front of the food dish to bounce a little natural light back. It’s subtle, but makes a big difference on the food. (This I learned from the wonderful Still Life With… on Bounce Basics) [...] [...] 10. Bounce!

I prop up the 4"x4" mirrors with a glass ice cube and it brings out a little touch of light here and there. There's even 1"x1" mirrors which I love to put into bowls/vases to get light bouncing around. I'm love your site and visit frequently for photographic inspiration and education. Thanks for sharing all this great info (and beautiful imagery) with us!

Big windows and french doors that face south and west. I’ve covered the southern windows with a frosted vellum that is available at art supply stores by the roll. That, and a few big sheets of styrofoam board are my lighting solution for about 75-80% of my photos. [...] [...] A good portion of my lighting is free, or nearly so.

I was working outdoors with a strong light coming from the side. All of the shots were coming out with no definition on the other side. Then I remembered your styrofoam suggestion. As luck would have it, there was an old styrofoam cooler in the garage, and the lid worked perfectly as a bounce! If I hadn't used it, I would have been left with less useful shots--or would have had to re-shoot with indoor light. Thanks so much for this and all your other tips!
