Lately, I have been focusing on some basic cooking with my 9 year old daughter Q. You saw her and her little sister KD in a recent post on making Challah. We also did the whole homemade strawberry jam making post (with upcoming blueberry post). We have gotten a lot of good feedback from these series so I am continuing to shoot our basic skills work.
Today is a series of rather static non-action shots of how to make butter. I was testing a new light set up and it was geared more toward product photography than editorial type of shots.

We started with organic sweet jersey cream. Its really worth the money to go with this more expensive product because you get a wholesome, flavorful, and colorful butter in the end.

Why does it matter if the animals pastured on greens instead of cereals from a bag?
