Taking food photos is a bit tricky.
I admit this is what I need to work on, taking food photos. I have never quite made myself good at this. It is all trial and error of course, which makes me frustrated at times but I am willing to work on it.
This got me thinking about how to take better photos of food.
I think one of the things that make food photos look good is the way it was prepared. Food styling is an art in itself, I believe.
Another thing that makes food photos look good is the lighting. There are restaurants that have good lighting one would think they got maxim lighting stuff.
Let’s take a look at these two food photos that show how lighting make the food look better. These were not altered in any way except by cropping and putting my blog’s name on it:
Arni Sto Fornou or slow roasted leg of lamb served with potatoes and lemon au jus from Cyma in TriNoma during the Bloggers Spot Pass Food Tour last summer
This spread from Mamou in Serendra was for our perusal. I took photos here because the lighting was better than the one where the food were for taking photos. This reminds me that I have not written a post about this leg of the Bloggers Spot Pass Food Tour in Serendra, my bad. I have a post for the Spot Pass Bonifacio High Street Bloggers Food Tour restaurants though for the same blogger event
There are also restaurants with bad lighting that no matter how delicious the food is, and how well it looks, and how wonderfully it was presented, the photos do not do justice to the finished product and that is a sad thing.
