I'm no photography expert, but I love food... Both cooking it and eating it! I do a few shots of food sometimes, but I've never been able to make them look decent. Now I've read a bit about lighting, I might give it another try. Good stuff. Nice shots. I’m no photography expert, but I love food… Both cooking it and eating it!

I just started food blogging and have quickly come to appreciate fine food photography - it's a lot more difficult than I thought to capture the essence of food in a one dimensional way. I look forward to learning lots from your site! You’ve got a great site here.

I've heard wonderful things about the Portland Farmers' Market, and would love to get a chance to photograph that. You really should try to make it out here, Thailand is an amazing food destination.

And welcome all you new folks! Jack - Glad this helped! I'll keep them coming. Kathya & S'kat - keep in mind there is lots of lighting you can use that is fairly inexpensive, will make a nice difference in your photography, and you can start to learn the basic principles of "painting with light." When I started about 6 months ago, I was using a simple desk lamp, reflected against a white wall or sheet. A work lamp from a hardware store will work even better, and cost well under $100. Austin - I am a bit jealous of you getting to be in Thailand for your food photography! Don't get me wrong... Seattle is great... but we were supposed to go to Thailand for a bit of a vacation, and didn't make it this year. Hopefully next! You have some great photos! Thanks all for all the comments!

I didn't even realize there were people blogging about food photography, so I'm happy to have found you and your links! I'm a (mostly food) photographer based in Bangkok, Thailand. I've got a blog on Thai food, RealThai (http://realthai.blogspot.com/), as well as an online portfolio (www.austinbushphotography.com). And I'm sure I'll coming back here from time to time... Cheers, Austin Hi there,

Just today, I got rid of a useless couch in our ante-room. A room, which by all counts, serves no purpose. Yet it sits right next to the kicthen. Possibly waiting to be filled with tables, lighting equipment, and props. Hey, my husband has his garage filled with Ducatis, right? ;) Girl, I am saving my pennies to get some kick-butt lighting.
