South American Cookbook

In the next few weeks, I will be cooking my recipes for my vegan South America cookbook again and photographing them. To keep things consistent, I've determined a few general stylistic characteristics (see image). These will of course be adjusted depending on the recipe, but should all come from the same pool. Also, with the light composition, I want to create the feeling that the photos were taken in South America. The light is very bright and harsh in the Andes and very soft and dark in the jungle. Of course, the Andean pictures should also have soft light, I imagine a veranda or a shady courtyard. I will photograph in my apartment, where I have indirect light in the morning. Or in the afternoon, if the sky is overcast. At the same time I should not forget that I need step by step photos for 3-4 recipes. These I also want to photograph in front of the window, with the background that I need afterwards for the final picture. Here my hands with the object will be sharp in the foreground and the background should be out of focus.
