wda Posted March 25, 2020 Share #8725 Posted March 25, 2020 I guess you needed some assistance with staging. Quite impressive, but not particularly tempting. Sorry. Food photography is more art than camerawork. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food photography is more art than camerawork. All comments are welcome, positive & negative - as I said, my first steps, and I have lots to learn. This food is certainly art, having watched its preparation; I'm not sure why art should be opposed to photography/camerawork or what's wrong with food photography being art. (That's a discussion for another thread). FTAOD I don't claim my photography is art! No, I had no assistance, other than the chefs preparing the dishes. The only cosmetic addition was a little clarified butter on the carrot, and you don't see that effect here. This was staged in a store room off the main kitchen. As for tempting: I ate as much as I could with my fingers - it was actually delicious! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched the amount of work that goes into food photography through video tutorials way back in time, I marvel at the skills such as sourcing, preparation, cooking and presentation of the food even before the photographer gets near it. I am also aware of how little time there is before the dishes lose their lustre and conviction. I am sure any chef would be delighted to have your work promoting his workmanship, when restaurants are able to reopen. Some twenty years ago a professional photographer friend showed me a few of the tricks of the trade. Food prepared for professional photographs often gets coated with substances which would not be applied to food being eaten. Ice cream comes to mind which needed glycerine, I think. The additives were used to extend the short period of time before the meal lost its lustre and photographic appeal. In that instance, the meals were not eaten after shooting. I would not expect you to work in that way. I find photographing fresh fruit and produce from the garden sufficiently challenging before I am tempted to emulate your endeavours. It is good to try something different. We have plenty of time at present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good to try something different. We have plenty of time at present. David, I had no feeling of being offended, so no apology needed. I was just correcting a couple of misconceptions, and curious why you took the view you seemed to express about food photography and art - and your opinions wouldn't offend me. I'm not at liberty to say more about where and why these photos were taken, so any explanations I give can easily be misinterpreted! Sadly there will be no further opportunities for this sort of photography for the duration. Yes, I have heard of all sorts of ways in which food is pimped for photography - engine oil is supposed to be good on roast meat. I was warned (and discovered) that I would only have a few minutes with the hot dishes before the 'drizzle' spread itself across the whole of the plate, so I was working fast - and made many mistakes: incorrect focus point, inadequate DoF, blown highlights on reflective elements (I need a bigger softbox), poor framing & composition. The one thing I was pleased with was my choice of a black backdrop (shown in only one of these) rather than using the traditional white lightbox.

You need the cook, the food stylist, apart from getting the lighting and exposure to get it all just right. By the time you've shot the same dish 10 times with minute differences and flubs, you never want to look at food again. And don't get me started on car shoots! Well done btw. It's good to try something different and stretch. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
