I’ve been meaning to try out a few things by replicating an original photo. I’ve done this for the first time last year and was planning to do it every month, but work kind of got in the way of things. I then bumped into the SLW remake group on Flickr and thought I continue...

Yeah, I agree with Helene, I like your picture more. I’m sure that Ian is going to learn alot from this post. We should be doing something like that, so that I can learn better food styling skills. I am seriously going down the street right now to buy the magazine…

I like your remake too! I try remaking pictures once in a while too. Nice way to learn and practice. I’m envious of your gear. I really need some stands and lights but they sure don’t come cheap!

Thanks Maki… Yes, they are not cheap. I’ve acquired most over the years, but I still don’t have everything I want! It never stops really.

Thanks Donalyn!

Thanks Helene! I think my photo just looks better because of the bad quality of the scan though..

Simone, this salad is a super salad!! I have made the same recipe a couple of times & I loved it! I use sheep ricotta because it has more flavour! MMMMMMMMM..

He Sophie! That’s a good idea to make it with sheep ricotta! I might try that thanks. It’s indeed delicious and soooo easy to make too!

I am new to food photography – I am trying to look at an image and determine the lighting set up used. Your image is wonderful. I cannot tell by the lighting image though, if the light is shor through anything? Some of the shadows look soft to me so I initially thought it was a softbnox… but now I see that there was no softbox. How were you able to achieve such soft lighting – with the white foam board kicking light back in?
Thank you for your insight
