I've never been a one trick pony. I like to have a competency in everything. I've been to business school.
Got my first taste of food photography today. I do photos for a night life company that just picked up a venue that is both a restaurant and a night club, so we did some food shots for advertising purposes. Here's a few shots:

Lighting: B-800 to the back left of the dish (about 2:30) and a 430exii to the camera left, making for nice cross lighting.

I'm pretty happy with the results considering it was my first time. Really relieved that the owner knew how to style a dish to make it look sweet, which made my job pretty easy. It got me really interested in doing more, so I think I might team up with a good friend of mine who loves to cook to make some photos for stock or maybe a food blog/youtube cooking channel or something.

I think some kind of reflector (even an improvised one made from a sheet of tin foil) would go a long way to improving that shot.
