Food Photography // I guess everyone knows that it is probably not the best idea for going to the supermarket while you’re hungry. You start buying things you might haven’t on your shopping list or spending money on things you don’t even really like (Pizza with Ananas? – Drop us a “yay” or “nope” in the comments below to show us your thoughts about it). But at this moment you don’t care about – you just want to have all the fresh vegetables and fruits. These tasty looking different sorts of meat. Some delicious cakes, chocolate, and candy. The supermarket becomes a wonderful place, where you could grab everything that is next to you.

We created this blog post here because we think you will get the same “supermarket”-feeling when you look at the following Food Photography. Enjoy & Bon Appetit!

Please note: Most of us are privileged having food every day. Unfortunately, there are many people out there, which can’t afford to buy food. Please don’t throw food away. Support your local people and/or donate to charities which are helping to manage food deliveries in other countries.

THIS BLOG POST HAS BEEN CREATED BY

Wedding Photographer – Matthias Jaworski

The post Food Photography – 20 delicious images that make your mouth start salivating appeared first on LOOKSLIKEFILM.

Berlin based photographers Susann and Yannic created a food blog “Kraut | Kopf ” two years ago to share their love on making good food during the off Wedding season (Winter months) and have not looked back since. Kraut | Kopf has hosted a number of community dinner events and with a cook book under their belt, Susann and Yannic share with us their motivation and journey – creating vegetarian recipes inspired by fresh seasonal produce from local farmers. Hungry yet?

1. What does making images mean to you?

We started photography almost 15 years ago and it became such a big part of our life. We learned so much about ourselves, about life and our environment, through photography. From the beginning photography was a kind of expression for us and a way to communicate with other people.

2. What is life to you? What it should be?

Life to us is an amazing opportunity and adventure. To share love and experience and learn from others in a continuous process. We love being curious, exploring our environment in a childlike way, and doing things that make us happy. Because in the end everyone is searching for love and happiness.   

3 Where did you grow up and how did that play a part in your photography?

Susann: I was born and raised in a small town in East Germany. Thinking about my hometown it was a sad place. There were a lot of abandoned houses in which I snuck in to take self portraits. I thought about unhappy people, who hoped for more in their lives. All that has resulted in a melancholia I still love to capture in my photos.

4 There are a lot of professions out there – why be a photographer? 

Photography is our life and is as natural as breathing and eating. We can’t imagine doing something else. It is the perfect medium for us to share our thoughts, desires, fears and emotions with other people. To do this as a full time job is really a privilege. We love our work and could not imagine anything more beautiful.

5 Are you creatively satisfied at the moment?

We’re never satisfied, but that’s our incentive, that’s what pushes us forward.

6 What music are you listening to?

Most of the time it’s soul, r’n’b, beat and garage music from before 1969.

7 Describe the path to what you’re doing now.

We both started photography in our youth. Almost 10 years ago we founded a photogroup (www.zimmer117.de) which showed photos online, organised exhibitions and published books and magazines The photos there are really personal, almost like diaries for us. Because making such an important part of your life into your daily job in scary, the decision was really hard, but in the end everything led to an apprenticeship in photography. Therefore we not only had the creative background from our youth, but also a strong technical background. Both these together affected our photographic style.

8 How did Kraut | Kopf start – you also photograph weddings for commission, how do you manage time between wedding commissions and Kraut | Kopf?

We’ve been photographing weddings for the last 5 years. Since wedding photography is seasonal we have a little more time in the colder months to try out new things and projects – that’s what makes it exciting for us – as we both can’t see us doing the same thing over and over again. We need some compensation against boredom. That was the reason we started a food blog “Kraut | Kopf” two years ago. We both love cooking and it’s great that we are able to share this passion for good food with others through our photography. We would never have thought how many people we could reach within such a short amount of time. Meanwhile we have released our own cookbook and photograph food jobs for our customers on a regular basis. Even though it´s a lot of work getting it all balanced – it’s still a lot of fun!

9 Do you shoot with your left or right eye?

The right one, but it’s not the eyes you’re shooting with. It’s more your soul.

10 Where do you see yourself in 10 year’s time?

We don´t think a lot about the future. We don’t plan a lot of things and just let the things flow without bothering too much. We don’t know if we will still be living in Berlin in 10 years time or if we will even still be photographing. Even if it sounds a little cliche we hope that we will still have each other and that we’ll be happy. That’s the only thing that matters.

Bonus Q: Do you think the gear you use affects the way you photograph? Why? 

We think every photo needs its own medium. We photograph using digital and film. And we use all different kinds of cameras. Every camera has its own character, which transports into the image. Our commercial work is mostly shot in digital. We want the best and consistent quality for our customers.

For our wedding work we use a Canon 5d Mark III with all kinds of lenses from 24mm to 135mm  (24mm f/1.4 L, 35mm f/1.4 L, 45mm f/2.8 TSE, 50mm f/1.2 L, 85mm f/1.2 L, 100mm f/2.8 L Macro, 135mm f/2.0 L) to get the right shot in the right situation every time.

Our food photos are mainly shot with 35mm, 50mm and 100mm.

For the post production we use Adobe Lightroom with customiaed VSCO presets. Our main focus is to get a look that matches our film, because we still shoot our private work on film.

It is very important for us to take our personal work on film to deal with a picture in a more intense way. Because it’s a different process. You take a picture much more carefully, control the properties of film while developing it, pick out the final frames from a contact sheet and print it by hand in the darkroom. But we always try to keep it simple. One type of film (Kodak Tri-X) and always the same developer (AGFA Rodinal). We started with medium format cameras but with time our cameras became smaller and smaller. Actually we’re shooting most of the time with a Leica M6/M7 and compact cameras like Contax T3, Ricoh Gr1, Olympus µ-II

The post 10 Questions: Susann and Yannic appeared first on LOOKSLIKEFILM.

This week we have with us Pablo Beglez, a wedding photographer based in a small Spanish island off the coast of Morocco. The island is Gran Canaria (also known as the Great Island of Dogs). Pablo travels worldwide for weddings and is into a sort of messy but insanely yummy looking food photography that you just want to reach into and eat. Thanks for sharing Pablo!

Editor’s Update: Pablo will be speaking at Choo Choo Camp this October, 10 – 13th 2016, in NYC! If you want to hear him speak, sign up here.

1. Why do you make images?

Photography has always been very present at home. My uncles and mom are big fans so I grew up smelling all the chemicals involved in the process of photography. That was magic for me.

Soon I realized that I was not a fan of letters and numbers. And I spent all my hours in class drawing pictures and traveling in my mind to incredible worlds where I had never been.

I stole my mom’s Canon A1 every time it was possible to keep investigating between diaphragms and speeds. I remember laughing a lot when my mom brought home her rolls and found pictures she hadn’t taken.

Taking pictures became the best way to understand the world and since then I always carry my camera around.

2. What is life to you? What it should be?

Life is an adventure that begins the moment you are born, a pretty exciting adventure.
It is like if you try to climb a mountain where you can never get to the top. You should never try to reach for the top because if you get there everything will be over, meaning that you have archive every goal you had. And what is life without a purpose?  Every day is a new challenge, to learn, to experience, to make mistakes. Life is a constant improvement.

3. Where did you grow up and how did that play a part in your photography?

I was born on an island in the Atlantic Ocean (Gran Canaria). They call it the place of eternal spring. The weather is amazing and the average temperature throughout the year is 24 degrees. Due to the marvelous weather conditions I’m constantly outside enjoying the beautiful places this island hides. There are so many impressions I want to capture with my camera on this island.

4. There are a lot of professions out there – why be a photographer?

As I said before, I always used to have a close relationship with photography and I guess that is what led me to study it and to dedicate my life to it. My job came out of my passion and today I couldn’t do anything else but take pictures, tell stories, eternalize moments and make them memories.

5. Do you have a “second profession” or passion?

I am dedicated exclusively to photography, that is my main passion. Other than that I enjoy surfing, skating and running.

6. What movie did you love recently?

I’ve been watching some of my favorite movies again for inspiration. The last one was The Shining. Years ago I used to rate movies based on their plot and now I rate and remember them because of their photography. I feel quite identified with Stanley Kubrick, he pretty much broke the rules shooting everything with the one point perspective. That is from where I get my inspiration. And also from Wes Anderson.

7. Is/Are there any project(s) you wish you could do – or might do?

Right now I’m working in a personal project that will see the light soon, it’s a book about food photography.

8. Do you shoot with your left or right eye?

I’m left handed but despite that I shoot with my right eye, I never close the left eye, it allows me to see with more detail the things that are very small in the viewfinder.

9. Are there any unseen experimental images in your attic you’d like to show us now?

As I said before I’m experimenting right know with food photography, but not the kind where everything has to look perfect. I like when it looks real, messy and natural.

10. If you were to start all over again, is there anything you would do differently? Why?

When I started shooting I thought that my photos were amazing, as I improved my perception started changing. Today my pictures are somewhat better than when I started. However I’m never fully pleased with them. It is so important to keep always learning and forming yourself. The world moves so fast that everything changes in the speed of light, maybe that is what I would change, that trends wouldn’t pass by so fast.
