Tips for Photographing Meat

I’m back with another photo breakdown and discussion. Thanks so much for the great feedback from my CreatingYOU.® newsletter on the last breakdown. I’m so glad to hear that you find these helpful.

I’m gearing up to knock out a lot of photos for The California Farm Table Cookbook that will include meat, eggs, and dairy. So let’s break down some photos with meat.

We’re going to take a look at a photo of marinated chicken thighs that I took several years ago. I’ll tell you what I would do differently now and then show you how I’ve applied those tips to more recent photos. We’ve got chicken, steak, ground beef, and duck all in this little 13-minute session. Watch and listen below!

If you missed my last photo review and breakdown, it was on props and proportions.

Photo Review: Proportions

I have nearly 60,000 photos in my archives. They are made up of client images, creative work, and travel. Some I love, others I hate, and some are good, I would just do things a little differently today. In this 9-minute video, we’re going to go through a photo review.

In the review, I’ll tell you what I would change in a photo from 7 years ago, and tell you what works about a photo I took more recently.

In these short photo reviews, we’ll cover some important parts of styling your set so that you can keep your eye out for common problems that you might not catch right away.
