Tricks & Techniques
by Stef on January 29, 2007
Found this video featuring food photographer Ed Gowans -- he's from Portland and I first came across his photos in The Berry Bible: With 175 Recipes Using Cultivated and Wild, Fresh and Frozen Berries. My favorite Ed Gowan photo is the one of the box with sixteen colorful sections filled with different berries. Not all of his stylists' works appeal to me, but he's a genius with lighting, don't you think?
Wishful thinking, but it would be wonderful to have a studio right by the kitchen, complete with lighting equipment, a huge window for natural light, shelves upon shelves of bowls and plates and glasses and mats and whathaveyou.... but if I *had* to choose between cooking and taking pics, I'll take cooking any day. Would that there was some magical, EASY formula to take pics like Ed does in only a few seconds. When there are children at the table clamoring for their food, most days, it's just not going to happen.

Nice and funny at the same time. Sometimes food can become art.And not only food! Almost everything can become art, if there's a good artist to do it.Even cooking is art in a chef's hands but,let's be honest: What's easier?

I couldn't agree more. "If I *had* to choose between cooking and taking pics, I'll take cooking any day."
Pictures don't taste very good :)
