Eat me: My take on food photography.

Cake

I really love photography. And if there’s something I love as much, its food. I dig everything edible. I love all about it. Food is what makes us. Its what brings us together. Its a huge part of everyone’s culture.

Its so complex yet so simple. Its amazing how you can turn something really basic into a myriad of colors, tastes, odors and textures with just the right amount of skills and ingredients. Its something truly magical.

To me, the biggest challenge in food photography is to keep all these elements within the frame. I want the pictures to look organic, live and vivid. I want them to taste good. This is why I want to tackle the genre with a more serious approach.

I don’t know how all of this is will turn out. Maybe I won’t even be able to hold out on eating the whole set when taking my shots. Yesterday, I just couldn’t stop drooling over that piece of cake during the 15 minutes it took me to set up something decent and get the shot I wanted. No need to say it took me around 5 seconds after that to clean up the whole plate.

But I guess this is another challenge of food photography ;)
