“Have you ever done food photography?” one of my dearest repeating clients who I have been photographing her family for last 10 years asked me the other day.
” …Food?!. . . no, not really….”. My voice got smaller. As I continued to finding out what she was looking for, however, my voice in my heart got louder “Let’s try that, I will be with you!”
I know that there are lots of people who has started searching for opportunities and exploring possibilities in the internet business during this prolonged pandemic time, and she wanted to start her own cooking classes/community utilizing her culinary skills, and she was in the middle of creating her own website. Among of all these challenges of launching your own business, having good quality images/photos of your products and your profile portraits will be definitely a plus. Her style of being down to the earth, learning toward to more lifestyle photography, I am more than happy to visit her own kitchen, take pictures of her with her apron, and the foods she cooks. I have trained myself and specialized in location photography after all. I would love to be flexible and reasonable as much as I can.
There are countless number of trials and errors especially when starting out in the new field. I will definitely learn from any mistakes I might make and grow in this field! Thank you for giving me a chance in Food Photography. By the way, the tomato rosemary pie was soooooo delicious!
till next time 😉
