I understand that there are many times of food shots, color, lighting, clarity, shadow-light, blur, texture, etc. I find that it's frustrating to have to work in post to get the shot I wanted originally. It's so much nicer to capture what I wanted in camera. I did this with a Thanksgiving set I created. Of course, it took about 20 shots to get that one that needed no post. Is this typical in food photography by the way? Thanks for your reply- So here’s my question I pose to you and also myself, am I a good food photographer or am I an average photographer and a good photoshop person?

Reading your blog is helping me learn to have a more discerning eye when it comes to the food shots that I take. (Not that my photos hold a candle to yours ;) ).
