----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Good" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 3:09 AM On Behalf Of Tom Christiansen Sent: Wednesday, 1 March 2006 2:00 PM Folks, I have an opportunity to shoot some food shots from a friend. The style is pretty much up to me, but I refuse to do the Food Court Mug Shots that you see everywhere. Do you have any suggestions for how to approach food photography? I'm not looking for a list of possible lens/body combinations. More advice on the composition and use of light(s), props, please. Thanks, Tom -------------------------------------------------------------- My advice would be the same as any scenario... Michael. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tom, Plenty of good advice above.... CraigZ ---------------------------------------------------- I´m only an amateur so my comments might be more superfluous but here I go: I've seen that food often needs makeup (like women makeup) this means polishing veggies not cooked, sometimes spraying them to make look fresher, cleaning with microscope all glass, dishes, forks, etc and arranging the cooked meals in order to look tasty, sometimes even to the point of adding colorant so colors will be rendered more vibrant (our eye adapts to a not so good looking stew, specially if we are hungry, but in a menu, it has to look radiant) In short, not only you have work with cameras and light but also work with the subject, as in fashion photography Patricio Dueñas * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
