Food photography, in room dining at a Marriott Hotel.

In this video, I walk through the process of shooting an in-room dining image at a Marriott Hotel in Alabama. I used my Fuji GFX with a 45-100mm lens, aiming for a soft background while capturing the food's details. Throughout the shoot, I focused on achieving natural lighting that aligns with Marriott's brand guidelines. I also discussed my lighting techniques and the importance of composition, especially in hotel photography.
