Hey there!

Welcome to the 22^nd edition of Curated Clicks.

Here are my favorite finds of the week!

Tea Anybody?

Beverage (like tea, coffee, or soda) aren’t usually top of mind when we think of food photography. However, they are a key component of food and can be fun to photograph. Challenging, yes, but fun.

Here’s an image that caught my attention as I was browsing through some tea photos. Obviously, the shot was staged, but sometimes that’s what you have to do to create interest.

Starting Out in Food Photography

Photographing food available to you at home is probably the easiest way to start food photography. However, there are some things you should consider.

Here’s a quick tip from a food photography article - 

“Even though you are at home and photographing food that is around you, that doesn’t mean your food photo has to be haphazard and random. Instead, plan the shoot…

Choose a narrative that is true to your home, space, or even the food that you are photographing. Add engaging details that support the narrative... 

Treat this photoshoot as you would any other photoshoot. Imagine yourself as your client.”

That’s golden advice! Read the rest of the article here: Photographing Food at Home
