Great Food Photography: November 2017

Wednesday, November 29, 2017

Our #ThursdayTheme last week was reflection photography. This type of photography uses reflective surfaces to capture exceptionally beautiful and standout images and you guys certainly managed this!

“Art is not a reflection of reality, it is the reality of a reflection”

-Jean-Luc Goddard

He’s done it again! Our #FridayFoto this week is from Kev Parker!

Here’s what Julie had to say about Kev’s image:

“I have so much respect for you wildlife photographers. The patience you must have is beyond me. But it certainly pays off when you catch a moment like this one.

Obviously this couldn’t be more perfect for the theme with that stunning reflection. But I also love the rich colours and the shallow depth of field.

What a beautiful capture Kev – thank you for sharing it with us!“

Thank you so much for all your contributions.

Home Photography – A selection of images from our #ThursdayTheme

They say “home is where the heart is” but a home is not always just about four walls or simply where you are from, it is where you belong. Some people travel the whole world to find it, others find it with two eyes and a heartbeat. It’s a powerful blog this week.

#FridayFoto is from the amazing Laura Elizabeth Wood.

Here’s what Julie had to say about Laura’s image:

“There is no mistaking Laura’s work. Obviously the adorable model helps me to identify it but she also has such a distinctive style and I never fail to stop scrolling and take in every detail of her images.

Not only is she a fabulous photographer, she is also so generous with her knowledge and time. Always willing to share how she works so others can benefit and quick to praise and encourage those around her.

There is so much to talk about in this image. I think the first thing I am struck by is the warmth and magic. It’s just inviting me in! I start with that beautiful face bathed in beautiful light and looking so completely angelic but when I can eventually drag myself away I start looking around the rest of the frame.

And as always, Laura knows how to set a scene. She has this way of including what some might describe as ‘clutter’ and making it enhance the image enormously. I love looking around at the knick-knacks in the room. I love that the other wardrobe door is open revealing bits and pieces on the shelf. It makes it for me.

Thanks for sharing your images with us Laura!”
