Contemplating Food Photography
Posted on Nov 06 in Uncategorizedby nikaPrint
A bit of navel gazing today.
Why do we blog?
Why do I blog?
The truth is that it is a way to have a conversation with you about something that I find, obviously, endlessly interesting: Photography. It so happens that I find food most accessible and mutable. Food photography is not so much about making us hungry to eat or showcasing any sort of culinary or food styling talent I may have or develop but rather, its about the technical and aesthetic process that goes into shooting beautiful and interesting food.
Why not shoot quirky images of poodles or drainage pipes?
I shoot food because it is easy to care about and become invested in the subject. The nature of food photography is such that you fall into and consume the image almost effortlessly.
I make it public here because your side of the conversation helps me grow and understand the impact of my photography on the viewer. For this reason, every comment you all have given me has been worth its weight in gold.
That seems to be a good enough and re-affirming reason to blog.
