foody inspiration

I've spent a lot of time recently photographing food for the recipe book Nell's school is compiling. Never having done food photography before, I was a little scared to start with, but I've warmed right up to the task and have been thoroughly enjoying myself!

I took some food photos myself recently at a wedding, was very disappointed in the results. That was using available light. Then I tried flash straight on - what a difference. Most photographers try to avoid flash pictures, especially head-on, but this time it was certainly called for. Are you going to give it a try? Or, bounce the flash off of a large white reflector.

Pasta looks stylish and the other looks delicious ... so tell me did you spray it with oil to get the 'gloss'?
