Food Photo 101-3: Week 3 in review

December 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

This is the review post of the third week of our Food Photography 101 series.

As was previously the case, several people contributed their results to the Food Photo 101 flickr pool.

This week’s contributors were:

  • Curt
  • LaRecetteDuJour
  • NJYar
  • Big Mill BB

As you remember from this last Tuesday’s post “FP101-3: Depth of Field”, we have been exploring Depth of Field (DOF).

Once you get the hang of it, playing with the focal plane and DOF can be fun and it can lend a whole new dimension to your images, literally.

It is used quite a lot in food photography, especially in cookbooks where food shots can be especially pornalicious and artistic. The shallow DOF can be used to focus the viewer’s attention on a particularly delicious morsel, boosting the appeal.
