Digital Food Photography

Digital Food Photography Review

Great introductory book about food photography. Author's angle is directed at someone who is considering food photography as a career. This is a good introductory overview with reasonable depth. If you already know about food photography and are looking to expand your knowledge, you might find this to be generalistic and provide basic techniques. However, I give credit to the author. His technical chapters are thorough and will satisfy both the novice and the expert. The author's knowledge is excellent and his advice very helpful. He brings other aspects of food photography, such as organizing yourself digitally, do's and dont's of the digital photography side of things. His chapter of food styling is very good, maybe particularly helpful for the novice and intermediate photographers. The section on equipment for studio photography I found most helpful. He divided it by low, middle and high budget, which is great for the general audience, so you know what you need to get that matches your budget and know what you might upgrade to later. I wish he had more coverage of digital software, he defers that subject to a specialty book, which is ok, given the scope of this book. I recommend it to everyone interested in food photography as a great read.

Digital Food Photography Overview

Great food always elicits strong reactions-the smell of freshly baked bread, the taste of a perfectly prepared steak. The job of a food photographer is to elicit that same mouth-watering reaction, but without the benefit of scent or taste. A well-shot photograph can send crowds flocking to a new restaurant or boost the sales of a culinary magazine. Capturing the perfect image requires a trained eye, finesse, and photographic skill. Digital Food Photography gives you the ingredients to cook up your own recipe for success-with professional lighting techniques, composition, food and prop styling, retouching, and tricks of the trade. You'll learn how digital photography combines teamwork, creativity, and technology, and how to make money creating delectable works of photographic art.
