One of the passions that has developed as I’ve become more serious about photography is food photography.  I tend towards one or two certain styles in my food photography so I thought I would challenge myself a little and try to expand my styles a little.

This post is inspired by a post I saw on dessertsforbreakfast.com I had been looking for food photography styles and loved their post where they showed the different styles using the same cake.  In their post they identified 6 major styles and set up 8 shots.  I am only going for 4 photos to show the styles that I am interested in trying out and working with. I haven’t defined them quite the same:

– bright and propped
– dark and dramatic
– rustic
– bold and colourful

I decided to photograph the humble raspberry as my subject and came out with these four different images that give a different feel with only slight adjustments and change in perspective.

Food Photography – Bright and Propped

Food Photography – Dark and Dramatic

Food Photography – Rustic

Food Photography Bold and Colourful
