Can one have too many doughnuts?

A book on Doughnuts is a project I had to do! I was surrounded by Sugary, gooey delights all week. Of course I had to try as many as I could without appearing rude... Or a glutton.
Rosie Reynold"s new book, is going to test the hardest abstainers of these sugary treats.
Can't show the final pictures until publication so I have some quick shots I took of Rosie prepping up in the studio kitchen.
I love some blowtorch action!

Pro Tip Series #2 The best Lens for Food Photography

Many people on my courses ask what is the best lens for food.

I can hear some of you shouting at me- the difference is in the f number! The smaller the f number the ...

Circles within circles

Photographing food involves composing plates and bowls, usually round. I find myself constantly placing circles within the rectangle of my crop. Using the rule of thirds, I use odd numbers and offset the arrangements for interesting compositions. on my courses, I encourage students to create fluid and dynamic arrangements with squares and shapes. Try and avoid the regular placing of plates unless for graphic eye-catching styles. Try and create a random placing of the plates as you compose your photograph more at foodphotographytrainiing https://www.foodphotographytraining.com/
