For my food I brought in donuts. I thought this was a fun and colorful way to take pictures of food. Along with bringing in donuts, I also brought a plate/bowl and used one of Mrs. Moncure's wood boards for my background. I used these objects to change the angles of the donuts and make each pose different. The five things that I learned from food photography was point of view helps create a story, one wants to be more graphical than emotional with the point of view, details are important to help explain the story, especially in the background, the best props come from home, helps to create an authentic feel, and work with the color palette and use color harmony/color value. I replicated another artist through getting close up to the food, and showing as much detail as possible. This helped create a detailed look with the background showing a natural environment, where the food would be usually seen. Three things that I learned when taking the photographs was lighting is especially helpful to create the mood, not only to make the image lighter. Also, placement of the food can create an image that shows a much different feel when the angles differ consistently and adding objects to the background gives way to an image having a strong focal point, without being the only object in the image itself. Some careers that include food photography are food advertising, food inspectors, and food bloggers. Many businesses that want to emphasize the look of the food they are selling, use food photography. Such as restaurants, grocery stores, etc.... I think I was successful with the placement of the food. I think I put in a lot of effort to change the angles of the donuts in order to create multiple moods. I changed the lighting often in order to give different point of views of the donuts, as well as show how lighting can effect the way an object is shown.
