Hi! I’m Rachel, an Aussie transplant and professional food photographer living in Vancouver, Canada. For years, I sat in a 9-5 gig wanting to live my passions, and I’ve dedicated the last decade to crafting a new career that brings together my two big loves: food and photography. (Hence, Two Loves Studio.)
I’m here to share my love of visual storytelling, create illuminating, uplifting imagery that emphasises the beauty and emotional connection of real food, and produce content that helps you transform your own passion for food, creativity, and photography into something more.
You can find my work in, Huffington Post, West Elm, and a range of publications from all over the world. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me travelling with my photographer husband Matt, eating all the Asian-fusion I can get my hands on, cooking chicken soup, and sending fist-bump emojis to friends.

This is one of the absolute best, clearest, most enjoyable food photography videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much for the step-by-step run-through on everything. Just earned a new sub! Looking forward to checking out your other vids :)
Thanks for your video, unfortunately i have tried all the above, my camera , laptop & cable are new, I also replaced the new cable just in case , still capture one doesn't recognize my camera ,but Imaging Edge does which is weird ! i tried via wifi connection , it shows my camera is busy :/ , do you have any idea how to solve that
Hello. I think the light is way too soft for a drink photo. The bits and pieces of the mint leaf and the gray grape make it look a little muddy. The harder light also brings the details out.
Structure shall not exceed the 1/3 of clarity value, one tip more, once you increase the clarity try to reduce the contrast 10 to 15 degrees it will give beautiful effect close to drawings.
New user to capture one. I am missing something in general here. I just shot a job with my Nikon set to raw/jpg (had to remove the Nikon SD card for C1 it to work) into Capture One. I assumed that Capture One would use the Nikon setting of RAW and JPG on the Capture One when it captured the images. Where do you tell C1 to save the files as RAW files....thanks
Loved this and love your channel. I have a question for your next Q&A. I work for a food tour company in Thailand and my goal is to show and entice people to do our tours because the food looks great but real. However shooting on site I struggle with Light refraction on ingredients. Do you worry about this or fix it in post production.
Thanks for watching! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the channel and this video. That's super cool you have a food tour company. A foodies dream! For me personally, ideally I would aim to get the photo 'right' in-camera rather than rely on fixing in post production. It would be useful to see an example of what you're experiencing to work out how to tackle it.
fantástico eu uso apenas a luz de estudio. muito raramente uso natural, exatamente por achar q não da pra manipular. E, como você sabe, aqui o que não falta é luz. mas nossa formação sempre foi baseada em livros europeus, então o uso é praticamente obrigatorio. Ideias pra voce divulgar mais este tipo de iluminação por aqui. Tenho uma amiga que morou no japão e era especialista em fotos com iluminação natural. Eu nunca entendia claramente o q queria dizer isso. obrigado pela lição. um abraço do brasil
This is so cool! I'm definitely gonna try it out one day. I've never even considered to create "new" and exciting images like these you show in the video. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
You are so welcome! So many possibilities. I use this all the time and I think it's such an underrated tool. Ha-thanks, Cindy. Black and white shirts can be a little boring so trying to jazz it up with some jewelery!
Yay! It's something I use all the time (can't live without) but so overlooked. I'm so keen to know what you think! Let me know how it goes for you and thanks for watching.
Hey friend, it really depends on the concept and the food. Most of the time I do use just one light (when photographing with artificial light), but I have a couple of lights that I do set up lighting with multiple lights. Hope that helps!
Great video, and great application of guides, thanks! So far I only used guides in post, but recently got a camera that allows tethering in C1. This can be very very useful for all kinds of slow photography, in my case probably architecture.
I have a lot of files I want to move into a new catalog and as I do that, I want to remove them from the original catalog . From your video, it seems that the photos you copied over will be in both catalogs. Am I wrong? Is there an option to delete files from original catalog?
Hey Steve, I do think that's correct. It is importing into a new catalog and not removing the old one from the imported catalog. I think that's a safe guard and what I'd recommend is then just removing it from the 'old' catalog you don't want it in any longer. This is simple, you just 'right click' on the Folder in Library and you have the option to 'Remove'. It will then remove the images from Lightroom but not from your HD/Disk. Could that work for you?
