Nikon D3300 Camera Body

Highly recommend this as a starter camera for food photography! I knew nothing (like really, nothing) about photography when I started and this camera is so easy & intuitive to learn.

Nikon AF-S FX 50mm f/1.8G Lens

I chose this specific camera lens based on the recommendations of other food bloggers and it does exactly what I need it to! The fixed lens helps you learn to move around as you shoot.

AmazonBasics 50-Inch Tripod

Basic lightweight tripod for filming videos and taking series shots of the cooking process. Especially helpful for those drizzle shots or overheads when I need an extra hand!

White Balance Card

I try to shoot in natural light as often as possible, and using a white balance card makes it so easy to get the right exposure every time.

Daylight White 5500K Lightbulbs

These bulbs give me the best illusion of daylight when I’m shooting after dark.

Collapsible Light Reflectors

Used with the daylight bulbs to reflect shadows with artificial lighting.
