deep-fried stuffed olives see variations page 64

Olives are one of the most common finger foods, but when stuffed, breaded and deep-fried, they are as far from ordinary as possible. 200 g (7 oz) cream cheese, at room temperature 100 g (3 ½ oz) ricotta cheese, at room temperature 1½ tsp lemon rind 20 stoned large green olives, rinsed and dried thoroughly

15 g (½ oz) fresh breadcrumbs 85 g (3 oz) plain flour 1 egg vegetable oil for deep-frying sea salt, for serving

In a small bowl, combine the cheeses and lemon rind. Place the cheese mixture into a piping bag. Pipe the mixture into each olive. Place the breadcrumbs in a food processor and blitz for about 1 minute until they have a very fine crumb texture. Place the flour in a small bowl. Lightly beat the egg in another small bowl and place the breadcrumbs in a third small bowl. Dredge the olives in the flour. Using a slotted spoon, remove the olives and place them in the bowl with the beaten egg. Coat the olives with the egg and transfer them to the bowl of breadcrumbs. Coat the olives with the crumbs. Fill a deep frying pan to half full with vegetable oil and heat to 190°C (375°F). Deep-fry the olives for 2–3 minutes, drain on kitchen paper, place into a serving dish and sprinkle with sea salt. Serves 4 48

chicken cutlet with serrano ham & marsala see variations page 121

Serrano ham or “mountain ham” is a typical dry-cured Spanish ham. This means it is generally served raw in thin slices, but when cooked it crisps up beautifully, creating a rich salty flavour that complements the chicken, zingy lemon and herbs. 1 skinless and boneless chicken breast sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 1–2 slices Serrano ham 2 fresh sage leaves 1 lemon slice

1 tbsp plain flour 1 tbsp olive oil ½ tsp butter 125 ml (4 fl oz) dry Marsala wine

Place the chicken breast between pieces of waxed paper and, using a meat mallet or rolling pin, flatten to a thickness of about 6mm (1⁄4 inch). Season with salt and pepper. Lay a slice of ham on top of the chicken and place a sage leaf on top. Cover the sage with a slice of lemon and secure the whole thing with a cocktail stick. Lightly dust with flour on both sides. Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan. Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Add the Marsala to the pan and quickly bubble down until thickened and reduced by about half. Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and pour the sauce on top.

Cross-processing apps add character to your images by changing the color and the contrast.

This technique works better with some subjects than others. Because of the increase in contrast you get, you may lose detail in parts of the image. Therefore cross-processing works best with simple, straightforward images.

Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work has been published in books, magazines and newspapers; and featured in solo and group exhibitions. He is also the author of Lo-Fi Photo Fun.

Top Tip Sometimes portraits can look a little odd, as skin tones change quite a bit through cross-processing. But if you try it with a simple portrait against a plain background, the technique can work really well. Have a go at experimenting with different types of photos to see what works for you.

Where tilt shift really works is in making your images look like they were taken of a miniature world. The selective focus of tilt shift (where the foreground and background is blurred) tricks your mind into thinking that the image is of a tiny scene.

Apps like Instagram, TiltShift Generator, Photo Hub (Windows), Camera 360 (Android), TiltShift, and Tilt Shift Creator (Android) simulate the tilt aspect of these lenses. Select a small part of your image to be sharp, and the rest of the image will be in beautiful soft focus. Selective tilt focusing can look significantly different from using a shallow depth of field, where the plane of focusing goes from the front of the image to the back. With tilt shift, you can have the plane of focus circular, or going from side to side, from any point in the frame you like.

Professional Techniques and Advice for Great Results in the Studio or on Location

Gritty Urban

Types of food photography Within the field of food photography there are many specializations requiring very

more likely to shoot for cookbooks and magazines. Most photographers do a little of

Also both available from types—commercial to pay theRotoVision: bills, editorial to have fun—but usually tend more toward one than the other.

1. Advertising

2. Packaging

Advertising shots are all about selling a product. Traditionally these shots are highly produced, with each aspect of the product and setting looking “perfect.” However, advertising work is also influenced by current trends in editorial photography, and some of the styling done for advertising has started to show a more relaxed, natural look, even at times bordering on a beautiful mess. Still, as a general rule, most advertising (and even “advertorials,” which introduce content, such as a recipe, with the advert) features meticulously styled and highly lit shots.

Like advertising shots, product packaging shots are a selling exercise, so they need to show whatever the subject is in the best possible light. However, shots for packaging have special needs. They are often printed on nonstandard papers or plastics, they may need to be printed quite small, and they may need to work with a specific layout. Packaging shots also often require strict documentation of the camera, lighting, and prop positions so that the image can be recreated with other, related products at a later date. In styling food for packaging, it is critical to represent the product accurately. As in advertising, “serving suggestions” are allowed, but portion size must be closely controlled and depicted.

Most products are presented as “serving suggestions,” which allows for some flexibility in their styling, such as putting fresh fruit in cereal. In addition, not all of the food in the shot needs to be real. If the product is a pancake mix, for example, then the pancakes must be made as the package instructs, but the syrup could be motor oil (which appears on camera as a thick, golden syrup). And cereal is often photographed floating in glue rather than milk.

3. Catalogs Food photographs for catalogs are often more about cooking-related products than food itself, giving the stylist and photographer a lot of freedom. However, many catalog shots also require the food or product to be easily knocked out, or deleted, and, like packaging shots, may require extensive documentation to ensure that related products can be added later without looking out of place or requiring an entire new shoot.

Portrait Photographer’s Style Guide is a hardworking recipe book of inspiring portrait photography. The ﬁrst section of the book explores Catalog professional portrait techniques across a wide variety of styles and genres that echo the full range11 of images in today’s magazines, advertising, and modeling shots. From gritty urban looks to classic poses, readers are provided with all the ingredients they need to recreate these styles. A 3D diagram of the studio or outdoor equipment setup accompanies each image, and explanations describe precisely how the image was shot in terms of format, lens, exposure, aperture, and lighting. The second half of the book provides professional advice on handling commissions, setting fees, understanding copyright, and planning shoots. It also includes practical shooting tips, an overview of essential equipment, and step-by-step Photoshop tutorials.

be planned. “To style the shot, we used the actual product and microwaved it as directed, but undercooked it slightly to preserve the rich redness of the potato peels,” explains Lara. “The potatoes were carefully hand placed on a plain white plate to get the right balance of peel to flesh showing, in an attractive, natural looking pile. I hand applied a portion of the seasoning mixture to ensure it was adequately shown. Since cooked herbs quickly lose their identity, a garnish of the major flavoring (oregano, lemon, or garlic/rosemary) was tucked to the side to make it easily identifiable at a glance and to differentiate the flavors of the product.”

After the shots were completed, the design changed slightly and the images were flipped to accommodate the new text layout.

About the authors:

Professional soccer player Rio Ferdinand had just finished training when I shot this portrait. Because it was raining heavily I set up the photo shoot inside the sports hall and picked out a red brick wall as a backdrop. I decided to shoot in black and white in order to give the portrait a gritty feel. I got Rio to sit on a gym bench so he could rest his elbows on his knees and then asked him to put Peter Travers is a British his fists together—this created a strong pose and helped to emphasize his strength of character. As Rio was due to photography journalist attend a physiotherapy session I was limited to just 10 minutes for the shoot, so had to work very fast to and author. Born inentire Bristol, get the shots.

He is currently Deputy Editor at PhotoPlus, Britain’s fastest growing photography magazine, and is a respected authority on all things photographic. Peter regularly writes for The Sunday Times, BBC magazines, Digital Camera magazine, PhotoRadar. com, T3, and many other best-selling publications. He is also a published ﬁction author. Read more about him, and his contemporary novel, TOP 10 HITS, at www.petertravers.co.uk. 12

Mood lighting Whenever I decide to shoot using black-and-white film, I have to set up my lights in order to make the most of the film stock. The great thing about black-and-white images is that you lose all of the drab colors you would have contended with in poorly lit situations—instead, dull colors are quickly replaced with deep blacks and plenty of contrast. I created a strong feel for this portrait by lighting Rio’s face from above with a softbox and then putting spotlights on him from behind. I also put a spotlight on the brick wall, which captured detail in the background. I knocked the brick wall out of focus by shooting at a wide aperture of f/4 and at a long focal length of 110mm. To make the most of Rio’s intense stare, I made sure I got down low enough so that my camera was at his eye level.

Babies

PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER’S

STYLE GUIDE A Recipe Book of Professional Portraiture Techniques

Rattles and cuddly toys Photographing babies is all about interaction. You really have to know how to make those funny “goo goo ga ga” noises when taking baby portraits as normal communication isn’t an option. As well as learning to speak “baby” you can also make the most of the baby’s favorite toys to entice a response that you can capture on camera. A great technique I use is to get one of the baby’s parents to stand right over my shoulder and smile and laugh or use a small toy to get the baby’s attention. Keeping a parent close by is essential to make sure the baby feels comfortable and secure.

David Squire and Patricia King have lives that are richly involved with family pets. Patricia works for an animal charity, while David has written two widely popular books about dogs.

Unruly and disobedient puppies and dogs are a misery to themselves as well as to their owners. Yet this need not be so: training a puppy – and later a dog – is an experience to be enjoyed by both pet and owner. This highly illustrated and easily understood book helps you to get into your puppy’s or dog’s mind, revealing what he thinks of you and how he will react. This no-nonsense, jargon-free guide describes how to introduce your puppy to his new home, to live in harmony with other animals, you and your family, and to be trained into an obedient and happy dog. At the end of his training, you will both be proud of each other.

About the author

David Squire is an enthusiastic advocate of self-sufficiency. He is also the author of The Henkeeping Specialist.

Although the global figure of more than 28 billion chickens at any one time might suggest that we are all thoroughly steeped in ‘chicken wisdom’, this is not the case. This no-nonsense, jargon-free guide leads readers through the practicalities of keeping chickens in your garden or on an allotment. It details the selection of suitable breeds for egg or meat production, or both, as well as explaining how they can be kept in humane and, as far as possible, natural ways. What to do when things go wrong and how to remedy them is just one of the practical and essential pieces of information in this authoritative book.
