I love the quirky sound effects to make it all kid friendly. But yea, once I saw a trick where they took a raw turkey, painted the skin to make it look crispy and then took a steamer wand to only cook the one section they carve open.

Has anyone else heard the Mitch Hedberg joke about gluing sesame seeds to the buns? "wtf is a sesame?"

Back in the old days of commercial food photography turkeys were commonly basted with motor oil to get a nice color.

Now that kind of heavy-handed styling is generally avoided as much as possible.

has it become an ethics issue? or does it induce too many legal troubles for people saying its false advertising?

Slightly related to this thread, but I have no idea where else to post this. I was checking my flickr pro stats and noticed that epicurious.com used a picture of mine in an editorial. I never got asked for permission and I have CC-attribution-non-commercial-share-alike set on the pic. I don't really care if they use it, but I wouldn't mind getting some money for it since this is a commercial website (I believe?) and they did use it without asking/offering compensation. Is there anything I can do?

Edit: At least they did credit me, not by name though.

I think, since its CC attribution, they can use it editorially as long as they credit you.

Finally put a table by a window. Wife is the food stylist.

I did a shoot for a private chef I know. It's amazing what 2 cooks can do in a tiny manhattan apartment. All this was shot off a cardboard packing box in one of the tiny bedrooms.











As always plenty of stuff from the shoot I am not happy with but it was a good feeling to be consistently getting the light right. I was adjusting my flashes without really thinking about it. Now to spend a week post processing all the images to get them printable.

If you're going to post such interesting looking stuff, you have to label it.

I like the concept for the egg salad sandwiches. Seem hard to eat like that but look cool.

Does this look good?

That is awesome! Beer making is so much fun. Were you able to make some awesome portraits? I've always wanted to shoot in a room full of casks.

I need help, I want to sell the hell out of these bowls of ramen soup. Took some quick snaps to get an idea of how they would look, but next time I want to really rock it out.









The things I'm having trouble with is that everything seems to be too shiny, and coming up with interesting angles.

Also go to amazon and look up the momofuku cookbook. There is a great shot of ramen in the preview you can see.

You are my hero. Thanks.

You always looked so scary and intimidating to me ... until now.

edit: oh ya, I really like the lighting on the chocolate chips and the logo. It's a great practical solution for an awesome logo or banner shot.

Food photography continues to be disgustingly difficult for me. How do these look as a set together?

I am holding this thread hostage, if my demands are not met, there will be a fourth consecutive post, then a fifth. My demands are simple; the total and complete abolition of glamour-style food photography, and a craft beer.



I'll take the challenge. In the meantime:

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.

Excuse the shoddy cell phone pic, but I feel this is relevant to the conversation.
