Photography

How do I choose the time of day for natural light in a food story?

The hour is the service you want to tell: if the room fills at night, the story is not made at eleven in the morning for the window. Side light helps the mise, and it does not justify moving dinner to an hour when there are no guests.

Note when the sun comes in and when the room fills; if they do not match, you choose the service, not the sun.

The miss in the sierra is shooting an empty lunch because the light was better, and having no dinner chapter.

Which service is in gets written down; the light is solved inside that window, not the other way around.
