The Impatient Chef is Learning to Take Food Pictures

I have taken a few weeks off from regular posts for a two reasons.  

1. The pandemic makes it hard to write restaurant reviews.  
2. I want to learn how to take better food pictures.  

It is reason # 2 that I want to address here.  

The Impatient Chef is a side project, behind my main passion, which is photography.  I do mostly landscape photography.  As such, I have struggled with studio photography for years, not really seeming to make it click.  

As part of my photography business, I sell to stock photo agencies.  When the pandemic hit, I was less able to travel to the places where I love to set up my tripod.  Yet, I wanted to keep sending pictures into the agencies.  Something new was called for.  Why not practice food photography?  

So, I started taking food to the studio, and playing with lighting, and composition.  Here's a taste.  

 

That's a little taste of what The Impatient Chef has been up to in recent months.  More Recipes to come, and maybe some reviews of food carts.  Sounds like a plan.
