1st of all, so sorry for the lack of posts last week. Culinary Snapshot had a few tech glitches we were working through. All should be fixed now!
I’m excited to have a “newbie” to the world of food photography join us on Culinary Snapshot! Welcome, Candy!
Koren Bulgogi & Kimchi Before After Photo
Photo Title & Link: Korean Bulgogi & Kimchi
Blog Name: Mommypalooza
Equipment Used: Sony Cybershot H2
Technical Details: Portrait Mode, Macro mode activated, No flash
Photo Editing: Used Photoshop CS3 to sharpen and then brighten by 50% and adjusting contrast.
Setup Details: Photo taken in my dining room at about 6:00 p.m. with optimal sun coming through the window.
Props: White waffle weave napkin, chopsticks, small glass Pyrex bowl
Additional Tips: I am VERY much a newbie to food photography and am not much of a cook either! I do enjoy cooking a few favorite dishes, and this is one of them! I just love the color that the kimchi adds to the spicy bbq meat and white steamed rice beneath.
My only real “tip” would be not to be afraid of playing around with your photo editing software and just see where it takes you! I definitely have a true appreciation for the art of photography, though, as I admire so many of your contributors’ work on this site!

For a newbie that is not a bad photo Candy! But if I can maybe give a tip; you make it easier for yourself if you try and shoot with more diffused light then direct sunlight. Sunlight creates a very high contrast between shadow and light areas and while that can be really beautiful it is also not the easiest to work with. If you’re starting out you make it easier if you work with diffused light first (either use a sheer curtain in front of the window or a window with no direct sunlight.
