Ashley & Branson were at it again with Tutorial Tuesday. This week was Foodtography. I have always admired foodtography, but I have never been good at it. I took some of the tutorials & tips they shared to take these photos today. They came out okay but I still am not happy with them. Do you have any suggestions? Which one is your favorite?
Oh and if you want to see some awesome foodtography you should check out Natalies blog. She shares recipes and awesome photos.
great pics!
Well I think they look great
My favourite is the orange, it’s making me really thirsty looking at how juicy it is. I’m also wishing I’d thought to buy oranges when I was at the shops 5 minutes ago, lol
um you are SO good at food-tography!
It’s definitely a gift. One that I don’t seem to posess. lol. I’m really diggin the toast pic with the jam on the knife. I think the more realistic the better perhaps? I say that yet I know great food art takes tons of staging.
Wow, I really like them! I think the M and M’s are my favorite. I also really like the first apple.

Mouthwatering as always. The yellow is so vibrant! I can’t even choose a favorite. That being said, I’m heading to the kitchen right now for a drink and some candies!
Beautiful food photos!!
I think my favorite is the overhead shot of the apple – it’s kinda unexpected so it’s more interesting to my eye.
I adore that first apple shot!! Wonderful!
I like the orange best, but they are all good to me. I am not a foodtographer either, with me I think it is a problem of angles. I just haven’t figured it out.
Yum!!!
I think these are pretty great!! The first two are my faves

I like that first one of the apple best. I think the light was a little better in your apple shots. But, I also like the coziness of the toast – it looks charming and conjures up images of a cottage breakfast
I think these are pretty darn good. Food photography isn’t easy and I am never very pleased with my attempts.
Yummy photos! I wanna take a bite of that apple!
I like the second picture the best. I love the way you framed the apple. The orange looks yummy too!
I am not very good at taking pictures of food either. I don’t know why, but it is not my cup of tea!
I like the orange! I struggle with photographing food also. Especially in my kitchen where the lighting has always been terrible. Hopefully once the new kitchen is in, it will be better for photographing food.
It looks like you did a great job. I love the orange. So pretty and bright : )
I really like the first one. The lighting is nice, and that orange looks really yummy!!
I think they are fantastic!
My mouth is watering thanks to that orange. YUM!

Great pictures! Love the apple ones…I feel like they are so fresh & crisp, I just want to eat one as a snack.
I think they turned out really great! The orange is my favorite…..there is SO much detail in that photo!
Actually, all of your pictures just made me really hungry

Great shots.
Suddenly I want and an orange, apple, and pbj!
Great shots!
Great shots..I really want to eat the screen,lol.. great job
Found you at WW link up, plz come by http://daytodaymoments.blogspot.com too !
Wow, I really like them! I especially like the orange.
So fresh and inviting.
You seem to have taken all the pointers on board.
My problem with food photos is the creepy lighting in my house. I basically have to cook in the morning, and put the plate on the floor by my back door to get a halfway decent shot. I never cook in the morning. I think yours came out nice. I like the orange one the most!
The orange! It looks so juicy and appetizing I almost licked my computer screen.
Love the bright colors of the foodtography.
I like the apple shots the best but they are all good.
Food is a hard thing to capture sometimes!! You did a great job!!
These photos are wonderful! I swear photographing food is SO much harder than you’d ever think..or at least than I thought
Thanks for hosting

ooooooh! fun photos! i have always admired foodtography as well, though it seems tricky to master. i think the orange is my favorite, and i think it is because of the color of the wood that it is sitting on. makes the photo look really cohesive.
great work!
This post made me hungry!! Those pictures are great.
Lovely!!!! You know my sweet tooth is telling me that the M&M’s are the favorite to pick. However- I love your orange. If I wasn’t allergic I soooooo would have had one cut open when I did my pics of the ones we had in the house. Makes me want some even though I shouldn’t
I love the second picture. I haven’t studied much on food photography, but I thought these turned out really good.
Those shots are so life like!
I think you did great! I’m still learning the whole foodtography thing. I did learn a nifty trick where you make a light board using foil and a cereal box to help with lighting. I think I pinned it in Pinterest.
Yep, I did pin it.

Fun! I like the perspective of the first apple shot as well as the last jam on toast shot. (The knife draws your eye into the center of the shot and up, and then the jar brings your eye back around to the knife again, so it keeps your eyes looking at the shot.)
I love the orange. If you squeezed it a little and had some juice dribbles, it would be perfection!
Or maybe it is because I love the color orange.
You had me at food.
I think my fave is the first one. The colors are great!

My foodtography can use some work so thanks for sharing the link. I think the first and the last are my favorite. Thanks for hosting.
i think you did a fantastic job on the photos. my favorite is definitely the oranges. they just look so juicy! i also love that you can see their reflection a bit.
I think it looks great! I take a lot of food pictures when I’m sharing recipes, but I have poor lighting and they rarely look great!
I think the apple shots are my favorite!
Those are all amazing! My favorite one is the orange.
Those are some awesome shots.
You totally made me grab a handful of M&Ms. I keep them in the freezer and try to stay out of them
Beautiful foodtography! I might have to to make a PB&J too.
Oh yummy that toast with jam is making me hungry. I really should practice food photography at home…….but the light is so dreadful in my kitchen especially at this time of year.
I think these are good. I stink at food photography. Really stink. Great job.

That orange is actually looking better than anything else right now (strange for me because I love M & Ms). Nice Foodtography

Awesome photos! The orange made my mouth water! lol =)
your orange looks delicious and I just want to grab some M&Ms
Stopping by and linking up for WW. My favorite picture is the last one!
My favorite is the first apple, I really like the perspective. I don’t have any tips though, food is something I struggle taking photos of. I like the one of the toast too, makes me hungry! : )
I have no suggestions as I am a total beginner of food photography and still feeling/learning my way along. Love all the captures, the first apple shot is my fav though
Those pics look yummy!
Makes me hungry!
Those food pics are way better than I could do
Come link up this WW post at Marriage from Scratch!

These are great Sarah, especially the last shot.
Great pictures, I love the first apple shot.
Hello! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask. Does managing a well-established blog such as yours require a large amount of work? I am brand new to running a blog but I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
I love the second shot and the first one is good, too.

This post has totally inspired me to start taking better food pictures. Going to get on making a light box too! I want to start taking pics of the recipes I have on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love them all, but especially the first apple one!
