Today, let's talk about food photography.
All I have to say is...
I've come a long way.
A long, long way.
The proof:
A long, long way.
The proof:

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 ;)

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