It’s been a while since I last posted a foodie shot…
It’s not that we aren’t cooking anymore, it just takes quite a bit of time for food shots – from the time it takes to set the table for the food to get everything right. Further I still rely on natural window lighting for my food shots and it has to be done just before the Sun sets. That being said, only weekend seems to be a good time for my food photography.
Had this tofu/veggie stir fry shot using window lighting and used a couple of home made aluminum foil wrapped reflectors to brighten up shaded spots. Used 50mm @f/5.6 prime lens for this foodie shot.

You know, I’ve tried doing these before so I have a fair idea how hard it is. And I’ve seen how many incompetent food shots are all over the internet too. It always makes me appreciate you superb ones. Nicely done as usual.
Very nice Sasi! The lighting is spot on.
Great shot! I think the chopsticks really make the picture visually interesting, a vertical line through all the diagonals.
Your food shots always make me hungry, and, like right now, I end up going foraging for snacks.
delicious composition, such perfect
Mmmm time to eat here in France, makes hungry ! The type of dish i love, colors are beautiful !
Nice composition, Sasi. Looks tasty, too.
This is making me hungry! All the time it takes you to set it up clearly pays off though, because I think food photos are definitely your best work! This one is no exception.
I have always loved your zest for detail when it comes to your “foodie” shots and this is no exception…excellent job Sasi!
Looks great! I like the lines of the placemat, which complement the chopsticks.
Your line, square, triangle really frame up the food very nicely. The detail of the chop sticks and crushed peppers on the corners add the perfect accent. Great lighting and colors. I’ve tried food photography but haven’t had much luck. Your food shots are always just perfect.
I knew someone will spot those triangle in this composition and bring it up… Glad that you spotted Sandra. Thanks!
This picture has taught me a lot! Its perfect. It could be an advertisement for something! Btw…can I come eat at your house
