When I began blogging about food, I thought I was going to recall memories, be opinionated where food should come from and, hopefully, write a few decent recipes down along the way.
I was not at all planning on enjoying the outcome of my photos rather than my dishes. Don’t get me wrong, everything I shot, I made and usually ate or fed to company shortly there after. Recipes still had to work well and be tasty but I found myself stirring in the key ingredients imagining how I might style the finished plate of food.
More and more, I began noticing other sites out there. People with similar passion and wonderful talents. Suddenly I didn’t feel like such a food traitor.
Food is meant to look good. It’s natural for it to be appealing for us in order to know when things are most ripe and at their tastiest, so why not photograph it from a great angle with a matching napkin?
I was exploring more of your blog. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Are you a professional photographer? What camera do you use? I also started my blog thinking more about the recipe than how I was going to present it but I have found that photography is just as important in a blog. It’s the only way people can imagine what the food must taste like right? We eat with our eyes most of the time.
I am NOwhere near this level but I am trying. This is truly inspiring!
Thank you!
