Freestyling with Food

Food photography is its own art, and I don't have much in the way of experience with it. My camera has a few macro photography functions, so I decided to turn the lens on the textural and colourful world of food.

I took many photographs that evening, so I curated the ones that seemed visually interesting to me. They were all taken with microscope function on.

Macro photography requires up close interaction with each object, and this could mean risky moves in a sizzling kitchen.

Turbulence and chaos. The complex geometry of cooking soup.

It may not look like it, but this actually turned out to be a lot of work. Every food item required its own settings and techniques because of the differences in colours, textures, shapes, etc. The method and technical settings that worked for one did not necessarily transfer to the next. I have a greater appreciation for those who take the time to carefully craft a culinary narrative in their food reviews.
