Food Photography for a Foodie Blog

by dav.d

I was hired as a food photographer for a local food blogger based in Provo. Usually her husband, who is a photographer, will photograph her creations for the blog. However, he was out of town and she needed photographs as soon as possible. It is a good thing I had my camera kit with me. We were able to photograph that same afternoon and I photographed 3 different items that would be featured on her blog.

These photographs were created using window light. I have a diffuser in the window to help control the light and keep it nice and soft. We used a wooden table top for the backdrop and the chef/blogger did the styling of the food. She had cooked the items before my arrival so things went pretty quickly.

I look forward to photographing more food for her again! BTW, she was one of the authors of a burrito cookbook and I did all the photography for the cookbook. I will hopefully be blogging the cookbook soon! So much stuff to blog and share and not enough time in the world, ack!

And this was my first paid gig where I used my Fuji X-T1 for all photography. Since this was a last minute shoot that was the camera I had on me at the time. And the camera performed perfectly and the quality of the photos was top notch!
