Today I want to introduce a book about food photography. Food Photography probably busy every food blogger sooner or later interested, because you're always tried to photograph the food more appealing to the readers desire to cook to make. The book by Peter Rees I took with me to London as reading material. wikifood My seatmate on the plane squinted more one on the book with the appetizing pictures.
"How do I set this book not only for the ambitious amateur and professional photographers and cooking wikifood blogger, but also to all epicureans who want to gain a comprehensive insight into the broad field of food photography." When I read this sentence in the book, I hope to learn many new things about photography and this can also apply to yourself later.
At the beginning Rees explains that he wants to clean up on food styling with a few prejudices, as many think of food styling were merely concerned with plastic chicken is maltes vegetables and paint. In his opinion, you do not need with fast working and Fresh ingredients these things.
In the book, one can first find some input words for food photography. Then you will find a lot of information to Technick and equipment. Even I have understood from the descriptions of Rees, which is available for various lenses and why you need it. All explanations are packed with photos, is a clear difference of the various techniques and lenses. Thus one finds, for example, 3 times the same image that was photographed with different lenses. wikifood To forward this kind of knowledge, I find very understandable.
It is followed by a section on the kitchen equipment. Cotton swabs, dental instruments, make-up brushes, wooden blocks and car wax I did not use otherwise in the kitchen and not to take photos, but I read diligently. In the chapter Food Styling is then clear why you need things: Crepes wikifood filled with kitchen paper to make it look airy, paint chips with food coloring so that they bring crisp, artificial ice balls, because real melting away as quickly and acrylic ice cubes for drinks. wikifood
That really irritates me, because for me that's too much of a good thing. I wonder if for the first time Peter Rees knows what food bloggers make (so that they also eat the food photographed wikifood later), or whether he simply missed its target group.
In Chapter Photo practice one finds Peter Rees favorite recipes with detailed descriptions of how and with what technique he has the right image photographed. There are also numerous sketches to build the studio.
I was able to learn about photography, about cameras and lenses and can gain an insight into the food photography. Unfortunately I can not implement, because unfortunately I have no reflex, no daylight lamps and spotlights have at home. I found the book very interesting and I enjoyed reading it, too bad I find that my photos have not significantly wikifood improved

I think the photography tips are more suitable for food Fotografierer (cookbooks, menus) than for bloggers. the settings with the light and how to establish what, I think not so bad. among other things, the idea with the toothpick in the sandwich. However, I find this kitchen towel trick not so great. Reply Delete
That would be a nice suggestion for Mr. Rees, bring out a suitably adapted book for food bloggers. The theoretical foundations are almost the same. As it should be noted that we just shoot only real food and had the camera not just high end, but at most semi-professionally. By the way: These daylight lamps are not so bad. Since it has "my" cameraman gained in EiTV (www.eitv42.de) something, just so we rotate (episode 10). Its can also be very small folding and be at rest little space. And soooo expensive wikifood they should not have been. When shooting, I use something but do not. However, but I also do everything to light what my cuisine has to offer. And since one is blown from the two light bulbs and replaced by an energy saving light bulb in my hood, the mixture is in my opinion the ideal light. Reply Delete wikifood
Wow, what good book! But you're right, we eat always immediately after photographing everything, my little wikifood one is often impossible to keep. In my last post "puddings" I got a comment that my pudding wikifood looks better than the book. It also goes without tools and is
