Lighting: The lighting used in this shot is fairly bright and is centered on the main subject, which is the meal itself.
Props: The props used in this shot, was a bowl. Time: Would the food need to be photographed straight away? The food could be left for quite a while because its not hot and using any timed reactions. Style: The style is very circular and the ingredients are tossed together.
Angle: The angle used is landscape and taken from the side. Zoom: It only shows the food close up with no background or props.
Lighting: The lighting is consistent throughout the whole photo. Props: The props used was a nice wooden chopping board, tomato and string used to help keep the wraps together. Time: Would the food need to be photographed right away? Yes because the ingredients used can make the wrap go limp, the bacon and chicken can get hard and odd looking. Style: The style was angled and the main food also became part of a background prop. Angle: The angle was from a side and the food was on an angle to face the camera. Zoom: The photo was fairly zoomed out to capture the full image including all the props.
Lighting: The lighting in this shot was slightly darker around the edges, but lighter in the middle to bring out the main feature. Props: The props used was a cooling wire and muffin patties. Time: Would the food need to be photographed right away? Yes because they will go soggy after a while, and the icing sugar will melt into it from the food being warm. Style: The muffins were dusted with icing sugar. Angle: The food is on a slight angle to the camera. Zoom: The zoom is close enough to get a close up of the muffins but far enough away to get full image.
