I have a point-and-shoot and, with a full-time day job, I used to always shoot inside at night (so I’d have to use my flash–the photos are not very good). But I recently started getting up early to shoot outside in the morning before work and trying to take my recipe photos at at lunchtime on the weekends, and it’s made a lot of difference. I really want to improve my food photography this year, so I’m going to sign up for your blog’s RSS feed.

This article is very helpful. I am trying to get more knowledge on how to shoot beautiful food. I love cooking but my photos tend to turn out blah, blah, blah! My food deserves better photo than what I churned out! Ha ha..so your website is really useful to me. Love it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us here.

I’m new to all of this, but these postings have helped me tremendously. I have to admit to being intimidated by some of the pros who people this site. Nevertheless, I press on and hope to learn and DO.

Thank you for your comments Neeta. Glad that you found this helpful. What exactly do you mean by food photos transformed into arts? Little more information will help.

Hello there, first time to yr blog, thanks for sharing the tips. It’s not the camera, but the photographer. A lot of people do not understand this and thinks that having big expensive camera is the way. But i know many people who owns very good cameras taking very ordinary photos :p

Good post, its easy to forget sometimes that the equipment you have generally has very little to do with photography.

I recently found your blog, and love it! I went back and read a bunch of articles. I’m trying to improve the composition of my food photographs. I especially like how analyze a photograph. I’m trying to look at pictures from a more artistic point of view.

I appreciate your posts very much, they are well written and really helpful. Like Barbara I would like a post on food photos transformed into art – I’m experimenting with that too….Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your comment. I believe you are talking about the bright white background. This is usually done by controlling the exposure and “metering” for the food. This may sound little confusing to those who have only used Point and shoot. I think this demands a separate post in itself.

Thank you giving me a wonderful idea for a new post.

Thank you for your comment. Glad that you liked the tips. Background makes a great impact on a photograph and you may have realized this too. I will have more on background in near future. Thanks again.

Your posts (especially related to food photos) are always very helpful to me! I’m still trying to figure out how people take food photos with NOTHING in the background – it looks while, but not like white from a wall or countertop. Is that photoshop? Thanks for all the great tips!

I really appreciate this blog, and most of your posts are very helpful to me, especially this one. I have a rather humble camera, and I realize that I can’t blame all of my very mediocre food photographer on the camera. I especially liked the tips about actually reading the manual and changing up the background.

Thank you for your thoughts Barbara. The idea of converting photos into art is an interesting one. Let me think through this and figure out how food photos can be created into art pieces using effects.

I very much appreciate your posts. This is my year of improving my camera skills. I’m experimenting with all aspects of digital photography. This week I’m delving into turning photos into art via effects. I’d love to see a post on that. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this! It was great to read that someone on a budget, like I am, doesn’t have to feel less significant about my skills because of my lack of equipment. Also, it’s nice to hear that pro-photographers prefer to use natural light! The article came at the right time since I’m going to be photographing some food this weekend for a contest entry!
