Once in a while, I like to step out of my comfort zone as a photographer. After researching the internet, I got attracted to food photography.

The fact that it is getting dark early in the evening and cold outside must have unconsciously played a role in this choice. I'm a real chill. So food photography it was.

Warm and comfortable at home and all means necessary at my disposal. I dived into my kitchen, looking for exciting things to photograph. And then, I paid particular attention to color.

How lucky that a lot of food is imported nowadays, otherwise there would be no strawberries in the shops here.

To make the strawberries pop, I chose a dark background. And to play with depth of field, I opted for my 50mm lens in all my photos.

And although I liked this photo, it was boring and monotonous. So I was looking for variety. And I tried that through movement.

So, armed with a spoon, the same black background, and honey, I started my next challenge.

Oh, and the help of my father. He was holding the spoon and dripping the honey. I'm no octopus.

After taking over a hundred pictures, this one was the best.

I tried a zillion positions for the spoon, left, right, straight, slightly tilted, and so on.

And after finally finding a good position for my spoon, I was handed over to the honey that has a mind of its own. Searching for the right drop, you keep clicking with your camera. Too little honey, too much, not in excellent shape.

Yes, the life of a photographer is not a bed of roses and requires a lot of patience. But it also has its positive sides. Little remains of the strawberries and honey after photographing. Yummy.

Because the composition of this photo also attracted me. The simplicity. I was looking for an equivalent idea but with more contrast.

Because it matters to me, the china cabinet opened, and a delicious cup of coffee was made.

The composition for this photo has been carefully chosen. Half of the image is filled with coffee beans. The cup and saucer are in the center of the picture. And playfully, a few loose beans are in the left corner. And even the handle of the cup was deliberately placed that way. So you can't say I haven't thought thoroughly about this photo. The blurring of the beans is also a conscious choice.

Then I tried other compositions with different food, background, point of view, focal point, etc.

Walnuts, peanuts, star anise, and chocolate

Brussels, waffles, walnuts, hazelnuts, and cashew nuts.

But I was still looking for color. So I dived into my kitchen cupboards again. And I came out to the spice department. All jars and bottles were taken out of the closet, and a selection was made of the most beautiful, bright colors.

After an afternoon of shooting, I reached my goal.

**Contrast
Color
Composition **

In conclusion, food photography was fun to do. But whether it's my thing. Doubtful. It is always suitable for a photographer not to stand still, to deepen and broaden your view. That happened this afternoon. And who knows what else will come my way. In any case, it will be an abundance of beautiful pictures.

Food is a best mate for playing around, it's quiet, you can move it whenever and where you want, doesn't ask for payment...and much more :D

You nailed the coffee cup!

Sometimes isn't about expirience, it's more about our style and how we see the object, what results we want from it, so keep clicking until you feel that soft comfy spot!
