Art of Lighting

Here are some pictures from the recent attempt by my wife at Raspberry and White Chocolate Mousse.

I don’t know if its coincidence or what, but after the food series competition started in Cognizant’s Photography club, I am more interested in that area now. As with the Chaat item, this particular item is prepared by author and owner of Thefoodielovers.com For receipe, you will have to navigate to her site.

But I can post the technical details of the photo here. Using the DIY lightbox that I made some 2 years ago, I focused the 1000W incandescent light from about 45 degree from right and used a reflector from about 0 degrees on the left. This made sure there are no dark spots on the bread.

Once the lighting is setup, I used a plain white chart as the base to reflect more light up and have a glow effect. Here are the photos:

Cognizant Photographers Club announced “Food Contest” and I knew I had to participate in that. I have been shooting every bit of bread, corn flakes, water melon etc for last 1 year after I started watching “Iron Chef America”. I remembered a close friend of ours here who is a great cook. We made a deal. She will prepare food and allow me to take photos (and taste as well ) and I will let her use the photos for her blog (http://aromasfrommykitchen.blogspot.com). Do visit. There are some amazing recipes.

So the first part of that is the Chaat Time. Here are the photos:
