One of my clients is a restaurant and while I have food staging experience and some decent equipment- I’m struggling with the light and glare in the restaurant for photography.

I’m no photography expert. I’M a writer doing social media. I’m barely above novice but it’s the only client I am struggling with. I can’t use a box or go shoot after hours so there’s less glare. And client wants environmental photos showing it’s taken in the dining room.

Spent forever trying to shoot this.

But compared to my other clients, it’s a struggle. Without a huge investment in more equipment- ideas?
