cress

You didn’t think I had vanished from the face of the earth now did you? I’ve just been incredibly swamped with work ever since the new Year started. It’s weird, wonderful and a little troubling too. (knock on wood) It could be over next month, so I am taking everything I can to make up [...]

There are those things that you can almost predict will go wrong. As I had told you when announcing the Donna Hay Challenge nr. 2, I didn’t have time to make the challenge recipe prior to the actual challenge so I had to do it still, just like the rest of you and then shoot [...]

The other day I was tweeting along happily and mentioned that I was going to be doing a babyshoot later that day. Mona, from the fabulous WiseWords, reacted if I could maybe write something about shooting a baby on my blog… I asked the parents for permission to use some of the photos and they [...]

Once upon a time there was this girl that had all these pretty pictures in her head. Beautiful images of wonderfully styled desserts, simple yet effective and made with just the flick of a spoon or in the blink of an eye. But sometimes, every so often, the evil witch came by and made sure [...]

Words are tumbling through my mind as I am thinking back to the last 4 days. Days filled with amazing people, new friends and an overall great experience at the first ever Plate to Page workshop in Weimar, Germany. When I saw the first announcement on Jamie’s blog months ago I never hesitated but immediately [...]

Ok, let’s start with confessing that the appetizer is really nothing special. I mean; everyone knows the combination of mozarella, tomatoes and prosciutto is a classic one, so I was really merely providing something to put on the plate. I wanted to practice with a christmas atmosphere while using my studiolights. And that is really [...]

I just wanted to share some news with you about myself in a magazine… I was called and asked if I wanted to do an interview for an article in a shop magazine. it’s not a big magazine but I thought it was pretty cool nonetheless… It’s in Dutch…. (in case you were wondering why [...]

For today’s post I am gonna try and explain how you can solve some of the problems that occur when shooting in low light or at night. Especially at this time of year it seems to be impossible to shoot your dinner in daylight since, well, most people don’t eat their main meal during lunchtime [...]

Foodphotography; controlling the light

I get questions on a regular basis on the specifics of how I take my photos and how I light the scene.. Today is a very cold day and not really suitable to go outdoors, so I figured I entertain myself (and hopefully you) by taking a couple of photos and showing you the difference [...]

Canon Eos 5D mark II

A lot of people ask me what kind of camera they should be buying to take good foodphotos. While that might sound like a simple question, it is not! Ofcourse I can all tell you to buy the most expensive digital SLR but I am sure that is not the answer you’re looking for.. I [...]

Now that I finally have my kitchen aid, I am convinced that the next appliance will either be the pasta maker or the icecream maker.. Summer is past now, so does it make sense to go for the icecream maker first? Probably not, but yesterday I got serious icecream making urges… I was giving a [...]
