Back in January 2009 I posted a recipe for Rugelach, my favorite cookie! I still cannot understand how cream cheese, that brick of gooey, plastic-y cheese I do not like eating turns cheesecakes and cookies into sublime desserts I adore… But, anyway, this post is about photography. Those were the photos I took back then:

Hey, you have noticed it’s been a while since I’ve posted a cake, right?! I’m really truly sorry about that. Cake means a lot to me. Cake is family and a home. I hope that by now it means a little to you too. If not a lot.
Maybe it’s time to bring the cake collection [...]

Gorgeous, luscious, creamy and light Trophy cupcakes, in bite size – dangerously good – were served at today’s food photography workshop.
I still feel “high” after participating in this workshop with food photographer Penny De Los Santos (her web site: www.pennydelossantos.com, her blog, and @pennydelosantos on Twitter.)
The workshop was organized by Viv, a.k.a Seattle Bon Vivant [...]

In this post I’d like to share with you how I’m learning to work out the light when I take photos. I usually shoot in my kitchen where I have a big window but the walls are painted green – which is lovely but not necessarily a good thing for shooting food – during the [...]

This is a guest post by Lisa from the blog Lisa is Cooking. She has wonderful recipes and we tweet sometimes on Twitter so I asked her to write something for us and share her behind the scene learning experience and tips. It’s about the learning curve, right?!

Every now and then I run into a blog post with helpful tips abut food photography. Unfortunately, I don’t always have time to read them, so I thought it’ll be a good idea to compile them in one place and when I have a moment There will be this one place where I can quickly [...]

Last February, still using a point and shoot camera, I decided it was time to learn a thing or two about food photography.

It was about 4:30 PM on a gray and rainy day. Very rainy. But there was light! Daylight. A gray-bluish one. A perfect day to make pie that turned into a day without electricity for a few hours, then trying to shoot the pie quickly while there is still daylight – yep, it was still [...]

Have you ever heard the term “Food porn”?
I bump into these words every now and then. I find it in places where people write, talk, shoot, or appear on TV and the subject is, of course, food, but mostly when it comes to food photography. Food bloggers are especially happy and proud of their “drool [...]

There’s this guy, Matt, who write this blog named Wrightfood which I like to read (and am subscribed to). Besides writing really great posts about food he also takes amazing photos! He also seems like a very nice guy who shares from his experience in food photography on his blog (click here and here). So [...]

Today was a fun day.I have finally had the chance to get a photography lesson from Erik. And what tops a photography lesson by a great, and super nice, photographer who comes to your own home for a private class? Not a whole lot. (If you are interested in some classes for yourself, or having [...]
