Welcome back to Photo Friday. (so aptly named by my friend Sandy) Today, I’m sharing less about my opinions and venturing out onto the world wide web to get some ideas and opinions from others. Ideally, I’d love for you to come to my site for all things food photography and never, ever leave. But I know that’s asking a lot, right?
Or not. Maybe not. But probably so.
Anyway, I’ve created a Pinterest board dedicated to Food Photography and one for Food Styling and today I’m going to share a few of my favorite posts that I’ve found through my pinning.
I like this post from Army Wife to Suburban Life because it looks at food photography a little differently. There are good tips about working with the food you have to make a great photo, rather than going out and spending a ton of money on props, which can get spendy quickly even if you buy your props at the dollar store!
I love this post from Cashew Kitchen. I love it, I love it, I love it. I’m pretty sure that as a food photographer, I was born to live in Scandinavia. (As a person, I know I was born to live in England, but we’ve discussed already…) The light they get there is always perfect for creating the dark and moody photography that I love so, so much. This post is loaded with good tips that will help you whether you’re a beginner or a veteran food photographer.
Ok, so I spoke about how props can get spendy? Here are your not so spendy options on styling inexpensively! This works well for me because, try as I might, I’m just not a planner. I’m usually making my dish and photographing it in the same day so running around looking for props while my dish cools isn’t for me. Using what I have around the house is ALWAYS for me. This post from My Creative Photography can help you use what you have to create stunning images.
If light and bright photography is your thing, this post from The Simple, Sweet Life is for you. Simple tips, again, using items around your house to help you improve.
So, bookmark this post and tonight, in between answering the door and giving out candy to the precious little ones, peruse these helpful food photography posts and see what you can learn. Your food photography skills will be improving in no time!
