For more on Food Photography, every food blogger must go to professional photographer Michael Ray’s Food Photography blog. He gave me his link awhile ago and I lost it. But I found it again, and urge you all to go learn the professional tricks he shares with us. Food bloggers are serious about their food, so they won’t be spraying glycerin on their dinner, or spending an hour getting the lighting right, but his tricks will help us. His tricks of the trade post includes those things a stylist uses to make food look better, including Fun Tac. I remember using Playdo and Silly Putty to position food as an intern in a photo studio many years back, but I eat my food now, so I like mashed or pureed veggies to get food to stay where I want. I’ve also discovered peanut butter is a good glue for deserts.
Also on Michael’s site is a Food Stylist Directory, a valuable link for anyone in the professional photography business.
