Food Photography: Summer Lovin

As a family portrait photographer, I am used to subjects that wiggle,sometimes run, climb, dance, swim and are in perpetual motion. Choosing which fleeting moment to memorialize is always a challenge.

I had the pleasure yesterday to photograph the delicacies of Cuisinier and Chocolatier Kristofer Kalas. Many of the ingredients were grown locally- well maybe not “New Zealand Cockles” or the “Alaskan Sockeye Salmon”…but all was as fresh as possible. So instead of my subject giggling  and moving out of the range of my lens, my subject was melting every extra minute I took to frame and expose.

So, for some “Summer Lovin”, feast your eyes on the photographs below starting with some homemade ricotta, sunflowers, espelette, thyme, sungold tomatoes, honey pate de fruit:

One of the benefits of being a food photographer is sampling the goods at the end of the session. I have probably put on five pounds sampling the vegetables, fish, pastries and chocolates. If you would like some for yourself Kristofer can be reached at: Kristofer@Cuisinier-Fr.com.
