The artist I chose for this week is Theresa Fernandez from  Frisco, Tx.  She is a food photographer that is hired by restaurants to photograph their food for magazines, advertisements etc..
I chose her because I was looking and researching various photographers trying to get new ideas to explore with my camera and food photography popped out at me.  When I saw her pictures I thought they were unique and you can tell that she really utilizes the various settings on the camera.  This type of photography I feel with give me specific challenges that I hope will help me improve the quality of my photographs by using the proper settings.

  1. Hi, Thanks for selecting my work!

    Food photography is a lot of fun, and a great way to learn the ins and outs of your camera. You can play with DOF, I like a shallow DOF and generally shoot at 2.8.

    It also trains your eye for composition. The trick is good lighting and color balance. Start with some food items that will stay fresh while you practice with composition and camera settings, like cookies or crackers or maybe some fresh berries. Depending on what your lighting options are, natural lighting is a great option. You want indirect light, or diffuse direct light with a scrim. Have fun!
