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.

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 fantastic! Thank you! I'd love to see these same lighting techniques but with straight on shots as opposed to flat lay!
Please, please do more food photography lightning breakdowns!!
Thank you
Just want to send you love. Thank you for sticking through. I am happy it worked, and it is working
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 :)
❤❤thank you
What tripod head are you using?
thank you!
thank you!
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
Is the normalize tool that much different than using the skin tool to make a color more uniform?
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.
Hard light is also a great choice for cocktail photography!
This was SO helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
The photo of the frozen purple drink with the orange slice is INCREDIBLE! It's showstopping! Thank you for the amazing tips as always Rachel.
It's one of my favourites! I love that colour combo. It's so surprising. Thanks for the support Leslie.
Loved the mini tutorial.. simple instructions.. cheers, keep posting, vernon_alvares_photos_edits
I love mini tutorials too!! Thanks for watching.
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.
Love those tips! Great options to keep in our back pockets. Thanks for sharing.
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
Welcome to C1! By default, C1 will save RAW files to the 'Capture' folder located within in Session folder.
muito bom. Claro e bem didatico
Thanks for the feeding and thanks for wathcing!
thank you!
You're welcome!
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.
@@Twolovesstudio thanks for replying. I will send you a sample image.
Great video! And great to see our PS teacher again :)
Woohoo! Indeed. I like to think we make a good team. Thanks for watching.
@@Twolovesstudio you did indeed! I can’t wait for another combo course from you guys!!
This video is really great and I love to see you both!!! You should do more content together!!!
Ah! That's so great. Thanks for the feedback. We had fun doing this one.
Love your work! Your husband is such great guy also. He needs his own channel ❤
I agree!! He has so many wonderful thoughts and ideas to share with the photographic community. Thanks for watching.
This was great! Thanks for doing this.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
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
Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully you'll be able to use some of these ideas and try natural light a bit more. Thanks for watching.
So helpful. Made a huge difference to my green-tinged photo.
Yay! I am so pumped to hear that!
You are super amazing 😊
You too!! Thanks for watching!
Genius! I never thought of using the flip tool.
It's such a handy tool! I will change your life, trust me hahaha. Let me know what you think when you next use it! Thanks for watching.
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 ❤
Please do! It's such a useful tool that can really help you with your editing process. Let me know how you go and thanks for watching.
I have rotated but never flipped. So many possibilities are opening up. Thanks. PS great necklace!
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!
Love these tips!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Kevin.
Great idea 👍
I hope you can try out this technique!
you make my day. thanks
Glad to hear that!
That is so useful!! I rotate often but had never thought about flipping.
Game-changer! It's such a small thing but gosh it can have a cool impact. Excited for you to use it.
Very informational video Rachel!! I will be trying this tool out with my own photos :)
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.
So you just use 1 light in all your food photography
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!
thank you!
You're welcome!
Great episode. Helps me when feeling stuck.
Super! I am so glad to hear it.
Color balance and approach is such an easy element to overlook.Thank you for the content.
Absolutely! It is an easy element to overlook as we do often focus so much on the colours in the images.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
voce é fantastica, Rachel. Um abraço e um like do tamanho do Brasil
Sending big hugs back to you as well :)

So professional and helpful video
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
great quick video! thanks 🙏
You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed it!
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.
Great tip! I think using this in architecture would be so helpful too! Thanks for watching.
thank you 🙏 this helped a lot ☺
Glad it helped! I hope this helps you get organised!
No kidding - For the first FIVE years of my food blog, I shot in my bathroom.
hahaha that is the best Nguyet! And your work is so beautiful, so it's very telling right. Follow the beautiful light!
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?
@@Twolovesstudio that could work. Thank you!
where is the backdrop from?
