Love this… We are in the process of having our website rebuilt. Though our food is amazing, the photos are not. If there are any photographers in the Baltimore area, take a look at http://www.theperfectgourmet.com. and contact us. The redesign is to start within the next 45 days.

Hi Scott,

Great article. I really like the way you’ve lit your food shots! I’ve had a lot of success with using off-the-shelf (read: Home Depot) 27W CFL bulbs rated at 5500K and shooting the light through a white umbrella. I also incorporate the bounce flash on my Nikon speedlight to fill in other areas of the plate. Natural light is the best, but I’m always shooting my own dinner when it’s already dark outside!

Anyway, thanks for the great info. I’d love to hear your feedback on my shots and recipes at http://www.scottsfoodblog.com.

Thanks,
Scott H.

I shot a picture of some tortilla chips, and the shot reminded me of one of yours. So is there a way to show this shot to you.

Awesome shots by the way!!!!

Well done Scott! I think its great that you are trying to encourage your wife with her talents.

I’ve no doubt that her cooking skills, combined with your know-how for taking great photos will bring some success with a Cook Book. Hey I would even buy a copy!

I wish you and Kalebra great success with it!

Take care!

Hi Scott,

Are you using InDesign for the cookbook? I suppose Mike’s think alike. I, too, would like to see some educational training on Kelby Training.

I’m Thinking about going to Dallas on March 20 for Terry White’s InDesign tour because I am thinking of starting a cookbook for my family too. My family tells me that I should open a restaraunt. The thank you’s I get are much more rewarding than monitary profit.

See ya,

Mike

Scott,

Great tip on the cookbook website. I am currently working on one for the family. The site is well thoutht out. I hope that soon they will let you customize the cover page and chapter tab pages. I am not as ambitious as you about food photography and have been downloading food shots from istock.

Great idea for creation of a recipe book and shooting photos for it. Thanks, Scott.

Hi Scott,

What kind of white-top table are you using? Is it one you made yourself or one you bought? Just curious…

Thank you,
Terry

Lovely photograpy and another talent displayed by you, Scott

BTW for the past three days I have been unable to view videos on Kelby Online, (I can watch similar services from other providers), emailed twice but got no reply and wonder what the problem is. I hope you can look into this.

Thank you.
