Lately, I found myself being totally obsessed with food photography and styling.
After kiddos go to sleep, I can browse and browse all those gorgeous pictures my favorite food bloggers have on their sites.
Mind you, I have miiiiiiiles to go with my photos and styling. But I am hoping to grow this blog and my skills. After all, playing with food is
fun! Doesn't matter what our moms told us when we were 5. :)
Here is a short list of links that I find very informative and helpful for bloggers like me:
1. This link caught my attention on
Foodbuzz. My dear foodie friend, Lizzy, shared it and I immediately
bookmarked it. A must-read!
The Ardent Epicure: Food Photography "A Perspective" ( Thank you, Lizzy for sharing this link! :) )
2. Better with Butter covers everything from camera to lighting to props.
3. For those who didn't make it to BlogHer Food Conference this year, this post is a must-read. Stephanie shares a very interesting and delicious project called "a cake case study" to talk about current styles in food photography.
4. Matt from Wrightfood has a whole series on food photography. You will find yourself bookmarking page after page after page.
5. Shawnda from
Confections of a Foodie Bride is a genius. I learned so much from her
blog, I should probably send her cookies for it. :) You need to check
out her site, if not for the photography tips, than for the recipes.
Eye-candy for all!
For more visual inspiration, you can visit my Pinterest board "Food Photography". I am constantly adding gorgeous pictures to it!
If you have a link to share about food styling and photography, leave it in comments section.
I would love to see it!
Tomorrow, another frozen treat! Stay tuned. :)

Anna, your photos are always very good, just like the ones above. It's amazing how the color (?) white brightens up a photo and makes it stand out. I just purchased a new camera and haven't taken a pic with it yet, but I bookmarked this page for your links. I have so much to learn. Keep up the good work and enjoy your hobby!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you, sweet Pam :) What camera did you get? I am on the hunt for a new one as my beloved old one broke...
DeleteMy biggest problem is winter when natural light disappears around 3:30 where I live. I found this and can't wait to try it next winter: http://simplycooked.blogspot.com/2010/03/light-box-for-staging-food-photography.html
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, Lesa! I will need to try this on dark gloomy days.
DeleteWhat wonderful links, Anna! I am going to check them all...I'm trying to improve my photos as well, but I'm always in a hurry...which isn't conducive to great photos! I loved all of Adam's tips on Alisha's blog, too :)

ReplyDeleteFood photography has always been a problem for me, I don't have a SLR or enough light when I cook the food. These links will surely help me.
