Food Photographers' Group

[tSkye]

I like the photos shot by photographer Michael Ray.

However, most of my photos of food comes only when I visit restaurants to eat. That process is usually termed food blogging. Personally never tried just setting up food just for a shot, that sounds really interesting but lots of hard work. I'm in anyway

 

[Dream Merchant]

You know the old saying ... nothing worthwhile comes without HARD WORK, and no where is that more true than in food photography! :bsmilie:

 

[tSkye]

Well, yeah. I can't make it this weekend due classes on both days so probably the next one bah. Chris lemme ur camera hor, I'm without one for the time being.

 

[drumma]

he's not a photographer but a very outstanding food stylist. check him out!

 

[Dream Merchant]

Thanks for the link Drumma.

Please update the list if there are any changes in attendance.

Could I check, is anyone bringing a laptop we could use to view samples of food photographs? Please let me know soonest.

Also, please bring along some samples of food photographs you think are particularly impressive, and bad ones. For discussion.

[Royaux]

i think it's ok to meet-up at City Hall MRT as it's not that big a group

 

[Dream Merchant]

Yeah Royaux, we're meeting up at Cityhall, just above the MRT, outside Starbucks.

Then we'll move to Peninsula or Funan area where it's quieter, and drinks are cheaper! :bsmilie:

 

[moodsetter]

would it be possible for me to join if i never taken a food picture before but interested to join and learn some more new stuff?

 

[luna_sea83]

Y not just join the rest of them tomorrow

 

[Pearlang]

I have actually taken a lot of pics of food during my many makan sessions, but they were taken with my h/p camera.

I had contemplated joining this group but decided not to at the moment as I do not want to be din dey.

Here are some horrible pics taken by me.

 

[Dream Merchant]

We're about full right now, but just swing by if you can tomorrow as some people may not be able to make it, and a couple have not confirmed anything.

No worries Pearlang, you're welcome to come join us but if you are interested in photography of any sort, it's best if you do get yourself a camera that's at least capable of manual control. Doesn't have to be a DSLR. Even a prosumer can also. Some outstanding work s have been done on nothing more than a prosumer camera.

Yeah, they do look half decent actually, especially the spaghetti!

Right now the group appears full, but I forsee some folks not being able to make it, and so anyone please feel free to put your name ON THE LIST please and join us for the very start of discussions about food photography.

To those interested in joining.. just send your details to Dream Merchant even if the list for today is already full.

This won't be the first and only meeting so that shouldn't stop you from being interested and from joining in future meets.

Thanks and enjoy the meeting!
