I have been photographing for the past 10 years. It’s not always been about food, but I have been consistently obsessed with objects and details, the interest that finally evolved in the food photography pursuits. My first food shots (no links here) were awkward: electric lights on, wicked plates, random props and unappetizing food. Who did not start there? Now I am more often proud than embarrassed with my work, I get occasional compliments, I was invited to contribute to Getty Images, and people even pay money for my shots.
Enough shameless bragging. I have surely improved, but I have also learned a helpful photography tip by Scott Kelby: always show your best work. Indeed, no one needs to know it took you a two hundred shots to get this perfect one.
Encouraged by your kind words and questions (in particular, a big thank you to Claudia) I have put down some thoughts on food photography based on my experience.
