Haven’t done food photography for a while. Time is a big problem. To have the perfect food pictures taken, you have to think about lights, composition, props, backdrops etc. Not to mention you have to do all the chopping, cooking, styling at the same time. But there is something truly appealing about food photography. The subject matters are always accessible. They are colourful, with different sizes, shapes and textures. How you present it is just up to your own creativity. May be these are the reasons that make me want to shoot some food pictures once a while, no matter how time consuming it is.
This time, I would like to try a more clean and simple style, without the use of fancy props. I also tried to do more close up shots because I don’t have a nice backdrop. The soup that I made is a very simple and basic vegetable soup. You can put in whatever vegetables that are in season. The use of parmesan cheese at the end is a very nice touch that boost the flavour to another level.
