Food Photography is a passion

Food Photography is a passion that is for sure. To begin a session there is so much prep work. Finding a recipe, buying the ingredients, deciding what props to use and the colour scheme. This is all before deciding on the lighting and the lens.

Today I started a session with the sole purpose of finally prepping some old crates and wooden boxes which I purchased from a swap and sell ad. They are a little worn and tired but I could see the hidden gems.

Everything I have I try to serve a dual purpose. Whether it is a napkin that has two different sides. Or a bowl that can serve as a stand as well. These boxes were not strong enough to serve as a seat or to stand on so I decided to make them multipurpose backdrops. As you can see from the photos below I had fun creating a range of surfaces to hopefully support many future shoots. I did’nt even sand them back or hammer in the loose nails. I thought it added to the rusticness. This first image is of a delicate little box and I think you can just make out the stamping in it. It is an old ETA table margarine with vitamins box. That made me giggle. Margarine with vitamins. The other one is quite a bit bigger. So one side I painted a solid grey blue, one side I oiled and the other a white wash.

Australia Day – Highfields Pioneer Village

Sonny and I decided to go to the Australia Day celebrations at the local Highfields Pioneer Village. It is a purely volunteer run tourist attraction where various machines and cars, tractors etc are restored and maintained. They dress up in the period of time which is pretty impressive considering it is January and the temperatures are pretty hot. thousands of people come to see this place once a year and all they ask for is a gold coin donation which is amazing considering what they put on. You can buy woodfired damper and have billy tea.

 

In keeping with my quest for black and white with a 50mm I took a series of images showing some details. I felt really sad to see these old cars purely a remaining skeleton. I wonder what stories they have to tell. Who drove in them? What journeys did they go on?
