30 views and no critiques yet? Lol uh oh!!

I have gone back and edited a few of these further, fixed the white balance and such, will update when I get home from work tonight.

Got a call from the client I shot these for and he is actually hanging number 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, and 13 on the walls throughout the bakery

These came out very nice! I am very excited for you.

Question: Can you find a creative cloth or pattern to place some of these items on to break up the monotony?

For example, if they were all on the same page, the one that I feel is a postive diversion is #12. Manly because it fills the frame and provides an alternate perspective.

If you found a patterned cloth to set some of the items on I would feel that there was some enhancement and blocking to the portolio.

Your shots are dead on crisp and clear, I love them!

I wanted to use some different backdrops that I had brought, I had a black one that would have looked awesome with some of them, but the owner of the shop has a pink/brown theme throughout the bakery (will post shots of that later) and wanted to keep the pink background to keep with the theme. I would have preferred to break the monotony too. Lol. They were nice, sent me home with a big box full of the chocolate raspberry brownie cakes depicted in number 3. Oh yum yums

Thanks all!

Sorry I made you gain some weight Light Artisan!! :hug::

You did ok :thumbup:, for me you need more light and more diffusion and better focus

Focus?? Really? Food photography is usually shot with a small DOF...

I think the focus looks fine personally

 

[John Mc]

Awwww, Please say you got paid in cakes and Buscuits? i might have to come steal your job if you do!

 

[manaheim]

I've never shot food in my life, so take this as a reaction from an experienced photographer with little experience in this space.

First off, the shots seem well exposed and relatively sharp, which is great.

To me, I wonder at the DOF being SO shallow... shallow seems good, but it also seems like you didn't need to go so far as having some of the food out of focus (or at least not THAT out of focus). If you had more distractions in the background, I'd say yes, but you seem to have none.

I also wonder a bit at the dead space. Some seems appropriate, but you seem to have more than I would expect in a lot of the shots.

I also wonder a bit about presentation... while these look technically good, I often see food "setup" with other things to make it seem more appealing or inviting- though maybe that was choice by your customer.

Just some comments- again take 'em with a grain of salt, but I hope they are helpful.

Lol, nah, I don't eat the stuff I like money haha

 

[John Mc]

I'd ask for both

 

[Opher]

All in all i like them all... Focus looks good but i would go for just a tad bit more DOF. Not a lot but a little more would be nice. :coffee:

 

[altitude604]

Looks good! I too think that just a teeeeeeeny bit more DOF on a couple of them would be better though.

That cupcake with the Andes mint on it though... DO WANT!
