Worst food photography part 2





It is very hard to take photographs of food well, as demonstrated by the last post.

While I know nothing about it, I can imagine that there is no one technique that works for all kinds of food. In fact, not two foods possess the exact same textures and appearance. It is a pain in the ass is what it is. You have to stare at it, and figure it out what it is about the particular food that I want to bring out. Thankfully, that part of it is pretty simple, since it is most of the times pretty obvious.

As with other types photography, one has to have a good understanding and command of lighting aparatus, neither of which I have.
