Foodie Friday : Food Photography (and some giggles!)

Today, let's talk about food photography.

All I have to say is... 
I've come a long way. 
A long, long way.

Food Photography Comparison

First photo {of asparagus and poached eggs, in case you can't tell} is circa mid 2009. 
The latter {zucchini fritters} is from this summer.

Just be glad I wasn't blogging yet when I first started taking pictures of my recipes. Most of them should never see the light of day, except for laughs, like the atrocity above. I hadn't really taken the adage of "We eat with our eyes first" to heart yet. Now, my husband may laugh at me for spending time "plating" and my dinner often gets cold before I finish shooting the pictures, but at least everything looks mildly appetizing ;)


2 Love Note(s):

  1. Haha! This is awesome! I am still in my photo one phase :).

  2. Wow that is such a huge difference!!!! It's amazing how much difference lighting and presentation can make. I'd definitely eat #2...but not so sure about #1... ;)
