Bakery photos with morning light

The loaves come out at five in the morning and get photographed under a fluorescent tube at six. Bakery photos from the studio reshoot the bread, the cakes and the pastries you photographed as an overhead spread on a floured table, in the soft morning light the bakery never has time to wait for.

You want the crust, the crumb and the glaze to look the way they smell, for the window, the site and the pre-order page. The Overhead style sets the surface, the props, the angle and the light; the dish itself is never changed, so bakery photos still show what the kitchen sends out. Keep the styling consistent across the menu by using the same style for every dish; bakery photos then read as one shoot.
