Reflections

Reflection 4:

In the food spread, “Take Your Pick,” I was responsible for taking all of the pictures. When it came down to the photography of food, I had to be very careful with the lighting of the picture and how the food was placed in the plate in order to look aesthetically pleasing, in addition to the angle. I learned how lighting plays a crucial part in food photography. I had to be mindful of the lighting conditions to capture the colors, textures, and details of the food accurately. Secondly, I learned food styling. I had to pay attention to details like steam, textures, and colors to make the food look as delicious as possible. Lastly, I experimented with different angles and perspectives to find the most appealing view of the food. I took overhead shots, close-ups, and captured the food at eye level that captured interesting results. Although unfortunately I wasted a lot of food, I learned a lot. For example, there was a time when I completed the spread, printed it, and realized the food looked green and unappetizing. I had to start over and make a new layout. Overall, I am now proud to say that I am confident in the tricky skill of food photography and will be prepared if I have to complete this task in the future.
