As I’m trying to push myself more and more as a photographer and delving into new types of image making I’m really trying to dive into food photography.
A challenging genre for sure. Trying to figure out lighting and styling for the product. In a funny way shooting food for me this is similar to shooting marine life. You move around it or them rather than verbally directing a model.
As I progress through this more and more I’m looking forward to your feedback about my work.
Thanks for reading.

Hey, i think you did a good job on both pictures, but i have some piece of advice for you that you might actually already know as a professional photographer ^.^ i like the first picture a little more because you placed the food in the left corner. When you show only food with a bare background it would be better to introduce the picture with something in the left corner. If the corner is free, the food is floating in the space of the picture. I hope you understand what i am trying to say :D

Nice work. Food photography can be really fun. As an advertising product photographer, I have a couple tips that will really help you along.
Light from the rear. This builds more interest, provides more texture and is generally a go to technique for food.
Search the portfolios on Workbook for "food" and go through the work you see there. Study the light. ;)
Look at food as a product. Then study product photography. Specifically lighting different "materials". You light textured surfaces differently than you light highly reflective surfaces. Study those techniques.
You pay attention to those things above and you'll see leaps and bounds in improvement (not that what you have isn't good). We can all be better. :)

Stunning shot! Really loved the colours and the composition. Congrats.

I vote for the first one. :) I feel that the subject is more clear there. In the second there's too much happening on that cutting board. That's my opinion. And I'm a minimalist, more or less. :) Wonderful shots nonetheless.

The first one looks more natural for me. It gets my vote.

great to see you trying out new stuff. You seem to master a lot of genres! Was it available light?
The light sources seem quite different in the two ones, I think I like the first one best.

Awesome post!
Could you maybe describe more in detail what goes through your thoughts as a photographer when deciding the frames?
Cheers, Simon @delightly

You tried play with light.
On the second photo a little more to the right of the center more light than it was necessary.
But your photos is good/

Nice pictures.
I also try to improve my photos of my food.
in the beginning cooking was in the foreground but in the course of time photography has received more and more attention. but I am still at the beginning I think.

It looks really good. BTW I prefer second photograph. I think more light increase appetite :) As I know in food photography they mostly use fake plastic foods to make it more desirable. I support to use original food :)

I like the second pic more, I think that the better lighting (natural lighting, I think) brings more life and colors to the food.

Picture 1 is better and eye-pleasing than 2. 1 has better natural lighting and positioning of the objects. I can feel a sense of harmony in 1.
But so much contrast in 2 and putting all things in the middle of the photo seems odd to me.
Please excuse my meddlesome.
