Some Food Photography

During the past Christmas holidays, Denise baked some delicious cookies and I took the opportunity to take some shots.

Baked stuff is a favorite of mine when getting to food photography, and since I had bought a few different kind of breads, I shot those as well. Finally I am posting some of those pictures!

You might notice some have not been color corrected, but I liked the blue dominant and I left it. The first batch of pics has been shot in natural light, using some white reflectors in the front to redirect the back-light from the window. The last ones, on black background, have been shot with artificial light.

Easter Indulgence

During the recent Easter festivities, Denise decided to make a Hawaiian cake to add something special to the more traditional "colomba", the dove-shaped sweet bread we eat at Easter.

So, with her outstanding baking touch, she prepared a big favorite of mine, the pineapple upside-down cake with macademia nuts!

And do you think I wouldn't have taken the opportunity to shoot such a beauty? Of course that is the first thing I did, before the voracious crowd could storm over the delicious treat, that in fact disappeared  rather quickly!
