Is it too early to talk about Christmas? I promise not to get all sentimental but Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. Snow, decorations, friends and family, Irish coffee and some baking with my mom. All one needs for an amazing season. Photography is in there some where! I feel like I have fallen off the photography band wagon lately. Looking back on my course over the past few months, I feel like I haven't really learned anything new that I couldn't have learned on my own. Practice when it comes to food photography is the most important thing. If I can strive to challenge myself daily, do I really NEED the courses? And I find that if I'm not interested in the shoot itself, say the one I did below for the Assignment on transparent/reflective objects, am I really learning or just going through the motions?
The goal in life is to end up on the cover of Food & Wine or Martha Stewart. I suppose how one gets there is a moot point. Just get there!!
Here is the last assignment I did. I like it. My motivation for it could have been improved.
Next and final assignment is to photograph a portfolio. I'm thinking of doing something very similar to the rainbow cake images. Those went over great with everyone and I've like to improve and practice my skills with shooting food - from start to finish. It's a LOOONG process but one I greatly enjoy.
