Food, revisited

So, I've come along way since I've been doing Edible. I also work part time for a food stock agency now and am working alongside some of the best food photographers in the world. I'm becoming slowly obsessed with taking photos of what I've been eating so expect some recipes popping up soon. 


I've also moved and I now live in a flat that has bright bay windows and white walls so I'm much more blessed with the right light. If sun streams through the windows, I use a cheap net curtain from Ikea to diffuse the light. I also use sheets of white foam board to bounce light back into a dish. I usually position the light behind the subject. I often work at about f3.5 but you can take that aperture narrower, even up to about f5.5, and still get that lovely depth of field. I work with my L series 24-70 f2.8 for all my food shots.
