A Collection of my Still Life Photos...

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 | Labels: |

I have learnt so much about photography, especially food photography in the past year that seriously looking at my shots say even six months ago make me feel like cringing :O.  Anyway, there's still so much to learn and so much space to improve that it is really quite exciting for me.  If not for this blog, I probably would not have taken such a keen interest in photography and recently I have ventured a little into still life photography although food is still quite centric in the shots.  I just wanted to share with you some of my favourite still life shots I did recently and hope you enjoy them just as much as my usual recipes.

Red apples in still life - my first outdoor shot at a nearby park, the naturally distressed wooden table was just too gorgeous not to use.

Popular Indian snack of murukku, shot with some beer.

The simple things in life, morning coffee with chocolate cream biscuits.  The peaceful morning light streaming through my bedroom window basically woke me up and set up this simple shot.

I'm so envious Jasmine that you are constantly trying to improve your photography. I think I'm in a stage of being stuck as I started to see myself styling and photographing in the same way, nothing new. I recently bought a photography book and hoping to learn. But I just hope that I can find the time to read it! Beautiful work.
