Nom!

Tuesday 17th November

The Tuesday Challenge (which Jonathan has kindly taken over under the name of Photo Challenge) was about stretching my boundaries. Each week, I attempted to set a task that was something I needed to expand in my own repertoire. I don’t know if you remember the food challenge? I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was handy because I was shooting the signature dishes of a local Indian restaurant tonight…

Prawns

Prawns

The composition/white background were the client’s choice – they’re going to be ruthlessly cropped with no distractions. Otherwise I would have placed breads, glasses, cutlery or other items around the scene.

Do you know how hungry you get when it’s around tea time and you’re photographing delicious-looking and wonderful-smelling food? I’ll tell you. It’s very hungry. Luckily my client let me have a little nibble but it didn’t stop me wolfing down the egg and chips made for me on my return by my favourite lady. Nomnomnomnomnomnroffflgroffflnom.

  1. Did this particular food photographing session include any ‘cheating’ tricks like artificially making the portions look better in a photograph?

  2. No, only arrangement of the plate and a mad dash between putting the garnish on and getting the shot before it wilted.

    It was all edible.
