Food Photography

Jump to Comments

Before I started this blog, I was taking photos of our dinners. I posted a few of them to my personal journal, and got some good feedback. My husband took some of the photos to work to show his co-workers (and sometimes to help illustrate a particular recipe they were talking about), and the common reaction was: “Why are you taking pictures of your dinner?”

Well, I was doing it because it was fun, and it gave me a chance to practice my new photography skills. I continue to do it for the challenge. I know I’m a rank amatuer when it comes to this sort of thing, and I have the links to prove it! :)

* Simply Breakfast is, quite simple, breakfast. Jen of Simply Photo has taken a photo of her breakfast almost every day. Toast with marmalade, omlette with slices of tomato, or banana pancakes, she makes every single breakfast a work of art.

* Tastespotting is the metablog for all things food porn. Photos and links are submitted, and the results are displayed on the page. It’s a fairly high traffic blog, so you’re almost always guaranteed to see something new every time you visit.

* Finally, for some how-to there is the food photography page of professional food photographer Michael Ray. He has tips on taking your own photos, lots of great information on lighting, and basics about the profession and general photograpy tips. (He also has a page on food stylists… How do I get that job?)
