these are good less for the last one...
if u're thinking of shooting magazine style, then u might want to try portrait shooting mode.

thanks for the tip

with no disrespect to the threadstarter, but anka's, tubbykat's and spitfir3's shots are much, much more appealing. :thumbsup:

but don't you even dare go into asking me to prove to you what a good food shot is supposed to look like, i'm just giving my comments on your shots. if you cant take it, don't shoot.

hi hobbesyeo, you are right, the nutella muffins are damn bloody delicious HAHA!
guess what? i was using the same camera as you, the lens i have is the 50mm f1.4 but i believe my setting for some of the shots are f1.8 as i wanted the Nutella to be seen in the background. guess i set to f1.4 for the banana nut shots thus the bunch of bananas in the background not very obvious right? lighting wise, i use available light coming in from my kitchen window and the muffins were set on top of my washing machine! oops secret out
so really nothing fancy la. i still find natural light the best for food photography. hope you find this useful.

wow.. on top of a washing machine. Who would have guessed? :bsmilie:
Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:

Well definately looking at more appealing angles, colour and compositions.

Food are not like people lar, infact food has no interaction with you at all. So you have to make the best of out it to make it look good until when someone sees a food photo they will want to eat it.

Haha.....of course it's paid shoot but this are low budget customers. Tbey are only willing to $1,800 per day plus styling. The $1,800 includes styling of the food as they could not afford a food stylist ($2,000-$2,500 per day for food stylist)

I never shoot anything for free but I can sometimes be flexible to give them extra service rather than lower my price......:bsmilie:

wah...can u be my shifu?

i like these 2 too! :thumbsup: but i like the styling on the 1st more but not the fork

 

[reachme2003]

photo 01. does not get my vote. because the background is not upright. maybe, with a s/t lens, this could be achieved, only if the photographer wants it. besides, it looks 'dirty'.
