About Culinary Snapshot
The picture above is of one of my very first food photos from back in 2004 when I started this crazy hobby of food photography. At that point in time, I had a lot to learn, and I still do. I spent time on the Recipezaar.com food photography forum, trying to learn the tips and tricks of the really good food photographers.
Not long after, I turned to studying the photography on food blogs. Back then, there weren’t many around, but nonetheless I was intrigued by the art of food photography. I would spend time on the blogs and on their various Flickr accounts reviewing the EXIF data, studying their camera settings so I could learn how to do it all myself.
I started out with a point and shoot camera and eventually advanced to a DSLR. Through the years, I have learned a lot simply by watching what other food photographers do.
It was in this spirit (and the spirit of Adopt a Blogger on Dine & Dish) that I decided to create Culinary Snapshot. My hope is that this blog will be an interactive forum where all of us can learn from each other.
Culinary Snapshot won’t be successful without your participation. Please submit your photos…whether you take pictures wth a point and shoot camera or a Digital SLR, we want your best tips & techniques and before / after photos.
I hope you will join me in sharing the knowledge!

congrats on the new site, kristen! what an awesome concept. i love it and now i need to go raid the fridge. you’re always making me hungry!!!
You don’t have enough to do with 4 kids and your current blogging activities????
I admire you and I’m grateful for this new concept from which I hope to learn. You’ve got a new subscriber.
This new blog of yours is exciting! I’m looking forward to being part of its community. Thanks for this resource
Kristen,
I’ve just stumbled across your blog after seeing it mentioned on the Share Our Strength Twitter conversation the other night. What a fantastic idea! I am an amateur food photographer, with SO much to learn. I can already tell that your site will be a fantastic resource. Thanks so much!

I just discovered this site and must say this a great idea for anyone wnating to learn about and improve their photography tecniques.
I am so glad I found your blog. I am just starting out in food photography thanks for the great info …
What a great idea for a blog! And it’s very good to see the before & after shots – makes me feel a bit better about the pics I take. I’ll definitely be going through the tips – now I just need a camera upgrade too… (currently using point&shoot)
I love photography but taking pictures of people make me nervous, hence I prefer taking pictures of food and flowers. They are very kind subjects. They never complain about repeating a pose, they never find themselves fat and they are always up for repeating the session
Congratulations on this site, Kristen. It’s a wonderful idea but even more than that, it would be just a wonderful idea if you had not acted on it, now it’s become a wonderful site. Well done. Look forward to checking it often. Maybe someday I’ll get the courage to submit one of my shots, too.
Just discovered your site (your friend Dave Ettlin recommended it to me) … what a neat concept! Love the posts I’ve read so far. Will definitely keep checking out your blog. Cheers…
Wow, I just learned something right here. I didn’t know you could go onto Flickr and see someone’s camera settings. Brilliant! I have a hand-me-down DSLR that I stil don’t know how to use that well, any tips would be appreciated!
This is a great idea Kristen. Whatever little I’ve learnt about food styling, has been inspired by food blogs. Such a vast playing field, and so much to learn!
