As you photograph your food, you should be changing something constantly. If you're not conscious about always changing the composition of your shot, it's surprisingly easy to end up with 100 pictures that all look the same.

One of the most important – and contradictory – things you can do for yourself while photographing food is getting out of the kitchen!

“My favorite place to shoot in my house is right next to our office windows. There are three windows formed into a bay window shape. This provides light from three angles, which gives me an excellent "scrape" of light.”

Food photography is a skill and an art. It takes time to develop your skills with things like using the manual settings on your camera. It takes time to be able to create artistically composed food photos.

Topics Covered (48 Pages):

Technical Tips
Composition Tips
Lighting Tips
Props and Set Up Tips
Post Processing & Editing Tips
General Workflow

There are some foods that just photograph better than others. When you're getting started, don't practice with brown, flat or generally blah foods. Choose foods that you know are going to look beautiful with the right lighting and set up.

Timelapse with Stunning Day to Night Lighting Transitions

Posted: 10 Nov 2012 02:14 PM PST

Timelapse fans will enjoy the new video that was released recently by Ben Wiggins. Very Little Stars takes viewers on a 2:30 minute exploration of various timelapse techniques such as hyperlapse and tilt-shift. There is something for everyone in the footage, which ranges from sweeping cityscapes, bustling pedestrian traffic,and the natural beauty of rolling clouds, sunsets, and stars. Take a look at Wiggins’ gem, which is garnering him high praise, right here (for those of you reading this by email, the timelapse video can be seen here):

While an exact frame count isn’t available, it’s a good estimate that 10′s of thousands of still images were compiled to complete the work. Here are just a few of them:

The train footage is grabbing the eyes of many viewers and rightfully so; however, there isn’t a dull moment in the entire course of the film so be sure to watch the entire video so you don’t miss out on anything.

For Further Training on Time-lapse Photography:

There is a new COMPLETE guide (146 pages) to shooting, processing and rendering time-lapses using a dslr camera. It can be found here: Time-lapse Photography Guide

The Importance of Researching Subjects for Portrait Sessions

Posted: 10 Nov 2012 11:34 AM PST

When taking a portrait, you want the photograph to accurately display the subjects personality. A great way to do this is by taking the time to research or get to know the subject prior to the shoot. Consider it a trick of the trade when it comes to photographing celebrities; a good photographer always gets to know who he is photographing. Listen to the tale of Matthew Jordan Smith’s photoshoot with Gregory Hines. In Smith’s case, his forethought happened to saved the entire shoot (for those of you reading this by email, the video can be seen here):

“When I do a photoshoot, the first thing I do is start off by doing research. I do the research because it helps to find everything I can to relate to my subject.”
