Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

This was put together for a chef friend of mine...... the recipes were developed for a health magazine and his portfolio hence the tease cropping...... The light was with one Elinchrom 1500 flash head bounced off the ceiling and white reflector at the front..... D70s 105 Nikon Macro....

is he the cook for the AW dinner???

That looks so yum! A testament to both his cooking/preparation, and your skills in capturing it on errr cf card (doesn't quite sound as elegant as capturing on film does it!).

not sure if I like the shorter crop on the left...

what would be cool would be if you had it so that it looked like the one plate, i.e. the whole plate across the 3 images.

nice shots though, I'm feeling a bit hungry now too! :roll:

Gee I'm hungry now, great work on the pics and crop Bernie although I do agree with optogamut about the plate continuing across the top of the three images. Suppose it's a little late for a re-shoot, bet it's all gone now. :)

Nice work on the food Matt. :D

I like the shots a lot! A lot of images these days are done on an individual basis in most of the mags you see. This triptage is something different.

Bernie,
that looks great. I am assuming that the pair of you dispensed with the models after the shoot. How did they taste??

Great stuff Bernie (as always :) )
I'm with optogamut as far as I don't like the shorter crop on the left - but just me :) How's it look with the text on the lower right hand side?

Food photography is a specialist area and very difficult to do well. You have done a commendable job and the food looks great! A tad of oil brushed over the squid would have given it a bit of a lift. Bit of dry ice to make it look as if it is steaming hot. :D :D :D

That's it, I'm off to have lunch :shock: :shock:

Well done Bernie. Really like the three shots together. Glad everybody was happy with it.

A friend of mine who had to do food photography got "Digital Food Photography" by Lou Mana. He thought it was a pretty good book.

Cheers,

André
