Description
This shot is from a class I am currently taking at the University of Tennessee, the class is Food Photography so I thought I would share some of my images from there. I have been working on earning a Photography Certificate from UT, and I have three more courses left to finish. For this current class each week we are photographing a different food category the first week was coffee, last week was bakery items, this week is beverages and the next week is candy, and we are to each bring in food and props for each item and set up different ways to photograph them so far it is lots of fun, I am looking forward to the candy week haha I hope everyone is doing well.

Food photography is very tricky; the glossy magazines seem to prefer strong lighting and very (very) shallow depth of field. Your composition here is really good, I can't fault it. However the knife is out of focus so acts as a distraction rather than a prop - it took me a while to work out what it was. I think the photo would be better without it. The dishcloth with its pattern is great and i would keep this in the photo. F4.8, if that is correct, is too much; F2.8 or below would be better. The lighting is flat / dull; no shadows, no real dynamics to give it a "wow" factor. I don't usually critique photos on RR but you obviously want to improve with the courses you are taking, so I hope you don't mind my opinion, and take it in the spirit it is intended :) I would love a slice of this; it looks very tasty. Best wishes, Steve
