Creative Shadow Patterns Using Light Gobos | Food Photography

If you really want to raise the bar on your images, start experimenting with shadow patterns and light through the use of gobos. Gobo stands for “go between optics” or “goes before optics.” It’s anything placed between the light and the subject in order to create visually interesting shadow patterns. Gobos give you the ability to form really cool lighting designs that take your images from solid to stunning.

Gobos can literally be anything: a piece of cardboard cut to look like a window, lace fabric to add delicate designs across the image, or a fancy metal gobo used inside an optical snoot.

Photographer Hudi Greenberger takes a few minutes to play around with light and shadow as he shows us how to shoot through glassware, liquid, and an optical snoot fitted with a gobo in order to up the ante on our images.
