Food photography

I wanted the props to show that the naan is fresh, straight from the flour, rolled out and cooked. Also, the black countertop was quite reflected so I found that this was the only angle where the light was not very reflected. I played around with the lighting to make it seem like there was nothing else around, just you and bread.

Though it is at a 45 degree angle, it was the only one that worked because there was other stuff on the table and the green onion plants don’t look good from a birds eye view. I added the towel and cutting board for a neat feel to the picture and the spices in the corner makes it feel like it is fresh. I also put it on the wood table for a rustic feel. I took two pictures because I wanted to show the texture of the mac and cheese.

I didn’t want to take it at  a 45 degree angle because it was too boring so I aimed for a little less than birds eye view. I didn’t go all the way because the countertop was reflective. I added the white cloth for color contrast with the counter and the food. Theres a lot going on because of all the colors, textures and the reflections.
