corkskroo posted:food I think the eggs are the most successful shots of all of them. They're certainly the most interesting. I agree with the previous comment that the focaccia dof is too narrow. It's actually distracting, in my opinion. It also feels like there are some color temp issues, especially on that second shot of the tuna tart. Was there a mix of natural and artificial light, or something? The shrimp puffs look messy, but that's just what happens when you pour soy sauce or whatever onto something that's been deep fried. I dunno how it would have looked with the sauce drizzled around the plate, but it looks kinda ick, now. In the harissa, that giant out of focus pepper is so distracting. I get that you're conveying some of what the harissa is without completely taking away the focus of the food, but still. What would this have looked like from above,with both on the same plane? I would try a few more angles, too. Almost all of these shots are the same, from the same angle, often the same distance. It seems that most food shots are taken from a similar angle as when we are sitting in front of it, ready to eat, but I personally love to see interesting, creative and especially dynamic food shots. For example, in your other post, I think the overhead ember day tart shots looks more interesting by far than the one with a slice taken out. You just could have used a less distracting tablecloth. I think you're doing better, you should just vary it up a bit and work on some lighting.

corkskroo posted:whatevs nobody cares here's some breadstuffs I think the bread does need to be made a little more interesting, as was pointed out, but I think the basket is a little dated. Try and find something whimsical to do, like if you had several rolls in a row, replace an inner one with a red apple or something for a splash of color and to break up the monotony. Additionally I think you have some contrast issues and everything is bluer than it should be imo. Kazy posted:
I like this one a lot, but it would be nice to see it placed a little more symmetrically within the frame. You could pretty easily photoshop it, I should think. Edit: it's pretty symm. really, I just meant something about it being at that slight angle throws me off.

Tunnelman posted:Be careful when lighting from behind, you see on the edge of the chopsticks you lose a bit of detail from the light wrapping around it? How did you light this one? Welcome to studio shooting by the way! It's technically well done, but I dunno if it's the arrangement of the food or what; I just find it kind of uninteresting.

BioTech posted:I've been taking pictures of every dinner I cook for about 5 months now, starting with a really ancient and terrible Sony Cybershot. I don't think that thing counts as a camera. The first weeks pictures were horrible because there was no natural light and my dinner lamps are orange, so I tossed all of those away. With the sunlight I actually had some decent results and good enough for just posting on Facebook like I intended. It is waaaaaaaaaaay too warm, imo.  Also, I'd get rid of the diamond plate. I think it's distracting, as is the fact that you cut off some of the bowl corners randomly. The food itself looks pretty great, though.

mysticp posted:I would buy some real chef gear, pants, coat and wear clean black kitchen shoes, you can get some nice casual non pretentious style stuff (like a short sleeve chef coat) that will look great. I think it presents a more professional image, even though you are cooking in a home kitchen. Oh and nice kitchen! I wouldn't wear a chef coat or something. Clean pants, an apron, and a t-shirt with your logo on it would work well, though.

poopinmymouth posted:My latest concoction, S'mores Cookies. http://hveitiogsmjor.blogspot.com/2012/02/week16-smores-cookies.html I personally don't like the bite taken out of a cookie; I'd rather see the full cookie. It looks great, though. I think the pie bars have a little too much light; the details and color of the breading on top suffers for it.

Pickman posted:Here are my first attempts at making common items of confectionery look artistic: Buy a new plate to use (is that a cast iron lid?), since I find that distracting. Also, check your white balancing. I assume it's the same plate/lid in both pictures, but the color is pretty different. Do something interesting with the candy. Don't just dump it on a plate and take a picture. Everyone has seen candy before. Make us see something different.

dukeku posted:Everything else in here is just trying to copy every foodblog on the internet - where's your outrage? You're right, it's just that reichstag was actually doing something different with food photography for a change. I haven't liked a lot of his food stuff, but I can't deny it was interesting and different. This just felt like a weaker version of that without a point. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

AIIAZNSK8ER posted:I enjoy this first one because. I think it would be stronger if there wasn't a shadow underneath the fish, so it could seem more like it was floating on top of the paper. Nice shot, aiiaznsk8er, I like the grime. The monochromatic nature does make it hard to focus on something, tho.

mdtyson posted:The real question is where is the garlic. Ain't no soffritto without garlic. Yeah, the bowl of onions really almost looks like mashed potatoes. I'd like to see the rims of each bowl, or no rims of no bowl, and maybe something on the background surface. Taking pictures of stuff on a "white" background with white containers/components is something I personally suck at though, so I try to avoid it.
