Food Photography Workshop

Our camera club conducted a workshop on food photography, in preparation for next month's photo theme contest.

There was a lecture on food photography, food styling and lighting. In the afternoon, it was the actual preparation of the food and the shoot.

Left early to go to Glorietta to attend the anticipated Mass and had dinner at Super Bowl.

Balance, Unity, Focus, Flow (BUFF)

The Plate:
Bigger is better.
Color me neutral.

The Food:
What grows together goes together. Preparing fresh ingredients that are in season.


The Setup:
Clock it--Conventional "Smiley face". Starch at ten, meat at two, vegetable at six o'clock.
Focus, focus--You can lean the meat on the starch.
Get saucy--Spoon sauce under the meat than on top.
Start arranging from the center of the plate.
Reserve the front of the plate for the most attractive and appetizing food.
Put height on your plate.
Think color.
