Almost worth getting married for?


Recommended Posts

Food photography is probably one of the most demanding types of photography. And not only because capturing the color, texture and nuance of the product is complex and time consuming, but there are definite laws as to what you can and can't do. Years ago, if you wanted to shoot a bowl of ice cream, you could substitute mashed potatoes which doesn't have the habit of melting. But that was decided to be misrepresentation (Gee... ya THINK?) and now, unless the ice cream is not the featured product, it has to be the company's product. We also used to photograph soup by putting clear acrylic blocks in the bowls so the meat and vegetables would stay on the surface giving you the illusion of actually having more in each bowl.

There's all sorts of sneaky tricks, many of which are still employed.

But you can tell by looking at these shots that they're done by amateurs and were shot on the fly.
