Project 365 – Day 74

“Foodscape”
First and foremost, I have to give some credit to my wife: she’s the one who poured the ingredients. I just happened to pass by at the right moment, temporarily halting the cake making process. It’s funny how I seem to be drawn towards food photography lately. I do enjoy it, which makes perfect sense since I equally enjoy food itself. It just isn’t something I thought of before I started my project 365. I shall explore it more.
The light was the tricky part here, with the egg yolks surfaces being so reflective. I had to use a piece of cardboard as a makeshift gobo in order to block some of the light falling on them. It proved to be a very effective technique as I was able to retain the reflections I wanted. A couple of hours later, this concoction turned into a delicious pumpkin spice bread.
