Photographing Food requires Patients, Skill and Good Light

... and sometimes a food stylist

Looking at food with the eye and looking at food through a camera lens are two different things. Preparing food for the lens is an absolute art in itself and can make all the difference to a professional commercial photography food shoot.

Food Photography Requires Skill, The Right Lighting and a Good Food Stylist

There are many factors that go into food photography other then the normal things like lighting, image quality, backgrounds, etc. The best way to accomplish good food photography is to hire a skilled food stylist who knows how to prepare food for the camera.

When they say, " they use glue as milk," the grill lines on a steak, sesame seeds on a hamburger bun, scoops of ice cream that don't melt, egg yolks that are a beautiful golden yellow, and the right ice cube, (fake Ice cubes can be expensive) it's all true...

So much is created just for the camera when it comes to food photography. Food Photography takes time to shop for and time for prep in advance and the day of the shoot.

Food Photography requires Planning

Looking at food with the eye and looking at food through a camera lens are two different things. Preparing food for the lens is an absolute art in itself and can make all the difference to a professional commercial photography food shoot.

Food needs to look it's best for advertising and we accomplish that by having all the elements in place before photography begins. A good game plan is needed, between the client, the food stylist and the Photographer. Having a blueprint in advance means better Images on the day of the shoot.

Food Photography Information

Preparing Food for the camera is different than food we eat...

Looking at food with the eye and looking at food through a camera lens are two different things. Preparing food for the lens is an absolute art in itself and will make all the difference for a professional food shoot.

Plating, propping, and the right ingredients and colors, make all the difference to good images as opposed to great Images.

Throwing everything on the plate and taking a picture is not good food Photography. It's the photographers job to bring out the surfaces and textures of the food through lighting and surfaces. The photographer has a great respect for what goes into a Food Shoot, both pre and post production.

What "They Say," is true...

When "they say,"

they use glue as milk, it's true.
The grill lines on steak,
sesame seeds on a hamburger bun,
smooth surfaces in a pot of gumbo,
scoops of ice cream that don't melt,
a beverage the right color,
the right ice cube,
the right condensation around the glass, for beer - the right amount of foam in a frosty mug.

Prep, refrigeration, and having a plan...
