Thanks in advance!

Food Etiquette

I have a question about a shoot I'm doing for a local lifestyle magazine. The magazine contacted me to shoot some food shots for an article. They picked the restaurant to provide to food and location and I get to shoot there. My question is does the restaurant get to use my photos for their own use and advertising or does the magazine hold on...

Burger Shot

I took this shot for a local hamburger chain here. I was matching some other shots that they had previously done so that dictated set and background. The white background is for their designer to add burger name, price and any other info that they deem necessary. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Antonelli's Cheese Shop

I wish I could take credit for the set-up, but the set up was done by Antonelli's. In hind-sight, I wish I would've gotten their logo in focus and not used such a shallow depth of field.

...nella mia cucina..

primi scatti di un mio nuovo progetto riguardante la Food-Photography, cercare di creare con la fotografia la magia e la luce che si vedono in alcuni quadri di pittori Olandesi, o almeno ci provo!!!!
Grazie per chi lascerà un giudizio e mi potrà dare consigli per migliorare la mia fotografia

5way reflector + speedlight = softbox?

I need to shoot some food for a newspaper but don't have access to a softbox and often have limited space. If I put a diffusion panel from a 5-way reflector on a stand and fired my speedlight through it, would it act as a DIY softbox of sorts?

Thanks!

Pricing?

Hey there I'm new to food and beverage photography but I have a potential national campaign on my hands and don't know how or what to base my services off of pricing wise. Me being new to this I don't know if I charge per hour, per photo, or per shoot, or if there is a formula to it all. I don't want to come across rude and ask for something...

Critique my ice cream sundae

I would like a critique on my ice cream sundae that I shot this past Friday. I was given the assignment on Thursday afternoon and shot first thing the following Friday. This was shot with a Nikon D5200 with the kit 18-55mm lens. I shot tethered to a macbook and used PhaseOne CaptureOne to process the image and export out the hi-res tiff. This...

First Attempt At Food Photography

This is my first time photographing food and I would love to hear your critiques. Do not hold back while criticizing. I wanted an overall warm mood in this photo and although it looks very saturated that is what was in the raw file without much editing at all.

Taking a bite at food photographer

Would love some input on these images and no I am not apologizing for the pun in the tittle. I know the images aren't perfect but would love input to see if I may be missing anything. Also how does the filet mignon dish look? I know it is somewhat out of focus (should have deeper focus) but the focus stacking did not work due to operator error...

Wild Boar Burger - Before and After

So, I was asked to show a before and after of a shot I did thats on my portfolio page. I had posted up there earlier but wasn't happy with the post processing. I thought it would also be educational to see a straight up RAW image out of the camera, and a post-production images as well. Let me know what y'all think!

Chicken Sausage and Bowtie Pasta

A shoot I did a while back for my portfolio. I had been feeling that my other work ran the danger of being too visually busy, so this was an attempt to simplify and streamline the look of this dish. CC welcome!

Savory Salmon - "Cover Out!"

We shoot a restaurant clients actual, ticketed food going out to one of their guests. Out process momentarily diverts the plate for approximately 20 seconds.

In that time we will (with the chef's advanced plating assistance), both lightly style, and light in a complementary way at the shooting table.

Just three shots, it's still...

Champagne

Hi folks, I guess it's only fair that I post an image for you all to critique, since I started this group. I'm still very much working towards improving my food photography, and I decided to try a more environmental shot than I usually do.
