I made this pretty moist and delicious bundt cake this afternoon. It came out of the oven around 4.30 pm, then had to cool and by the time I wanted to take a photo there was no light left whatsoever. That meant having to wait either until the next day or find an alternative solution. [...]

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 [...]

The first session of the Donna Hay Styling and Photography challenge did cause quite a bit of stir as there is a fine line between copying someone’s style and finding your own. I’ve said it a couple of times already but just to be absolutely clear on this; I am not trying to create little [...]

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 [...]

We all have our own heroes when it comes to food photography and styling and I’ve always been a huge fan of Donna Hay’s style and all the photographers she works with.

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 [...]

I’ll admit straight away that I am not the best foodstylist in the world and I don’t intend to make a second career out of foodstyling either, but being able to style your own food, for your own photos makes absolute sense. If I look at the photos of Helen at Tartelette or Sabra at [...]

Once you have figured out how to improve on your lighting skills there is another element that will have a major impact on how your final photo looks and that is the composition and the angle in which you take your photo. In all photography and especially in foodphotography the angle is of great importance [...]

What is cheaper and more readily available then good, old daylight? And it’s a lovely light for food photography, so if you’re on a tight budget or just want to start simple, choose daylight!! Now one of the first ‘mistakes’ I see happen a lot is that many people start using flash as soon as [...]
