Food Photography

Sugar

So Food is something that is harder to photograph then I thought it would be.  It may look okay just sitting there, but if you don't get the angle and lighting right, the picture looks really bad.  I had to play around with lighting a lot to get them to look right.  I wanted to take pictures or bright colorful foods, hence the food coloring in the milk and the rainbow cupcakes. I also liked how you could see each little piece of sugar as it fell. 

Week 7: lightbox

I chose these 3 pictures, because I thought that they were best out of the ones I took.  I wanted to try the lightbox with just a little bit of light in a ark room, so I used a fake candle, and I think it turned out pretty cool.  i thought that the quarter would be cool because its not something that would be able to stand on its own so it would be more of a unique picture.  The camera was my old camera that has just been sitting in my deck forever.  I wanted a bigger object, along with the smaller ones, and the camera was the perfect size. 

Its awesome that you can get such cool looking pictures, using a few things that you can find laying around the house.  Having professional looking pictures really does not have to be complicated or expensive.
