Styling Soup - How It Got There

I have another edition of How It Got There and this time we are talking about styling soup for food photography. In these short videos, I take you through the project, prop selection, and the final shot so you can see what went into my thought process.

This month, I’ve been talking to you about creating or finding your style in our CreatingYOU.® newsletter. In today’s video, I talk about individual style as it relates to my own creative work and the work I do for my clients so that you can decide for yourself if you believe style is something that should be adapted.

Creating a Moody Farmhouse Kitchen Photography Backdrop

While my photography style has changed some over the years, one thing I still love to create is a more moody farmhouse kitchen look. But what do you do if you don’t have that type of kitchen to photograph in?

I find that piecing together wood boards with a vinyl surface can create a rustic countertop look as a photography backdrop. In this video, I show you one way to create it to give you ideas for what you can create in your own space. This is a photo I included for my Farm Fresh Photos stock photography membership.

Styling Burgers, Sandwiches, and Sliders for Food Photography

We’re about to hop into Memorial Day Weekend here in the U.S. It’s the time of year when things like burgers start hitting the grill in most parts of the country.

So today I thought I’d talk about some key elements when styling burgers, sandwiches, and sliders whether they are beef, vegetarian, fish, or chicken. 

I’ll be breaking down three photos in the video below with key elements and tips for styling, stacking, condiments, and angles. I’ll also share what I would do differently now in the older photos.
