Food Shot 101: White balance

My photography coach once said that as a professional, I should learn to set my own white balance according to what pleases me. I have to shoot different balances first to get the right color I want- choosing among direct sunlight, incandescent, cloudy and fluorescent most of the time.

Here I am shooting two different modes of white balance on a food I don't eat- steak. Which one do you like best? Incandescent or direct sunlight white balance?

  1. Incandescent...makes the meat look juicer. Though wish there was an easy way to correct the white balance on only the plate (ie a whiter plate on the first incandescent frame), since that would probably make the meat/veggies stand out on the plate more.
