Food Pictures

[Fujito]

I posted some of my work a 8 months ago Japanese Food shots

Since then I feel that I've improved a lot. Here are some pictures from last week:









Thanks for looking! I'm looking to get the Canon 100 2.8L macro to make things more interesting. Right now I'm using a 70-200 2.8L. It's not ideal, but I only have that and the 16-35 2.8L.

Looks amazing, I am so hungry now!

Just looking I want to eat!!! The japanese know how to do food! The only thing that I don't like about the photos is #2 the white stuff in the back ground is distracting. The first one is my favorite and the last one I want to eat so bad Creme brulee is my favorite! Looks like it might be chocoloate...

The white stuff is a seaweed garnish, but I can see how that can be distracting. Thanks for your input. The last one is chocolate creme brulee. My father is the chef and I'm the sous/sushi chef and I've been making the creme brulee since I was 14 haha.

But to clarify what the items are:
1. Grilled octopus over soba noodles
2. Colossal stone crab claws
3. live scallop sushi
4. chocolate creme brulee

Live scallop? I think you mean raw, it doesn't look alive. It's hard to find a good sushi chef in the states, they seem to be the best in LA. Where in Japan are you? Have you heard of the Yamazakis?

[Fujito]

My father is from Kyoto. The scallops are alive. We get the scallops in their shells. The sushi pulsates for a little after cutting it.

Cool, now that's real sushi!!! Can't wait for more photos!

Kobe beef sushi with seared Foie Gras

Japanese Matsutake mushrooms. We can do a lot with these. They are very meaty mushrooms, as well as expensive.

Yeah, I noticed that when I saw it on the computer. Didn't catch it on the camera's review screen or while setting it up.

The Kobe Foie Gras picture got a lot of praise from my customers. I also sold a lot of it that weekend and I attribute the awareness to the email/facebook where I used the picture. I had several customers that told me that once they saw that picture they knew they had to come in and order it.
