Have a look at Lou Manna’s book “Digital Food photography”. It has lots of food photography secrets including using food coloured mash potato

Have a look at the book “Light, Science and Magic” Fil Hunte & Paul Fuqua, Focal Press, 1997

It will tell you all you need to know about controlling that lighting, and many other common surfaces – chrome, texture etc.

You can get fake ice cubes from http://www.trengovestudios.com/ice/f-ice.html . I was looking for a way to make a glass bottle look frosted and found this site – which is really well designed and informative. Thanks!

Rickies, a chain of beauty supply stores here in NYC, sells them in two sizes. I buy the large one, since I use them often. Brian
