I have been looking for new aspects of photography.
================================ NikonRumors-"Photographing Japanese food with a Nikon D750" I'm Vincent from Paris, France and I created the website cecj2.com in 2008 about Japanese restaurants. As a semi-professional food blogger, I have read many books and articles on how to take food pictures. A tripod, a long distance lens (85mm at least) and a light diffuser were used, but none of these are possible when you are in a fancy Japanese restaurant in Tokyo or in a dive bar. |

Yummy hobby.
One of my brothers co-workers does food shots for print ad campaigns. I was surprised to find out that he doesn't actually work with food, but recreates food out of other raw materials to simulate food. |

fish223: I have been watching NHK broadcasts from Tokyo, and they have a thriving industry of making plastic/wax models of real food, and they look surprising real.

pics are nice enough, but that focus (depth of focus?) is a little rough in some of those shots. makes it difficult to view more than a few shots.

Real food starts to lose it's shine and luster under the studio lights, colors change on cut vegatables, things start to wilt, liquids congeal, etc. Food blogging is obviously different, it's shot right out of the kitchen and the set doesn't require studio quality. Next time you look at that ad for the Big Mac, and wonder why it doesn't look the same out of the wrapper...... |

Use a shitty camera.
Leave it to the viewer's imagination.  
I want another good camera, and yet I don't. |

A while back I asked a BTS question about coffee photography, and those 'just poured' photos with the milk swirling in the 'coffee' sometimes are cream getting poured into a cooled mixture of gelatin and soy sauce, for example. |
