It was three full days working with a nationally known food photographer, his stylist and production team. With a complete commercial grade kitchen and multiple studio photo setups, the participants were guided through the production of everything from food packages to magazine covers.

The experience definitely moved my food pictures to a whole new level. I can hardly wait to get home and try out some of the tricks I picked up.

They're also both pretty likely to be at your library for check out, or if you don't want to do that, they both have websites where you can browse.

Another tip, spend some time in thrift and dollar stores. You can find all kinds of plates, bowl and mugs for next to nothing. You wouldn't believe the collection of single plates and bowls that I own.

I still look at others photots for inspiration, look at cookbooks and cooking magazines and try to imitate a cool picture then make it your own, don't forget to take them in good light and use your software to increase the saturation (like i know what that means) alls i know is that it brings out the colors. HAPPY SNAPPING!

I have been studying lots of photos on this site and I am experiencing a moment of anxiety where I just had shouted, "Oh my God, my pictures suck!!!"

I must go read some photography books now. I had no idea that I, of all the people in the world, would want to discover the mysteries of photography. This is simply disconcerting.

One potato chip at a time!

Well there have been lots of potato chips for me in the past few days. So much so that I've gone through the first set of batteries. Who would've thunk it?!!! Me enjoying photography. It certainly boggles my mind.

I've been studying other photos as well in an effort to figure out techniques I'd like to mimic. I think I am going to have to really read up on lighting strategies though. How to adjust for that totally escapes me, but not for too long I hope.

- guitarmom]]>cooking commentsRe: Budding photographer (HA!)http://www.bigoven.com/groups.aspxFood photos are just like that famous brand of potato chips. "You can't take just one!". You'll know you are really hooked when you decide to make a dish and plate it up just so you can take pictures of it.  That was about 2 years ago for me.
