The Bite Shot on Instagram

I haven’t been cooking much recently. Between the kids being out of school, traveling for workshops, client work AND working on the new Flash for Food Photography Course, things have been extra busy. Too, it’s hotter than Hades here so the idea of turning on the oven is NOT appealing. But just like working out, I make it a priority to shoot every single day. How will I continue to grow if I don’t practice? So, for the time being, I’m shooting lots of ingredients and things that don’t require a lot of prep. . Don’t let the cooking part prevent you from doing your work. Grab something, anything, and keep logging those hours behind the lens. . 📸 5D MarkIV- 50mm Sigma Art - f3.2 - 1/200 - background is @inkandelmbackdrops - lighting with Canon speedlite in 47in round softbox with grid to the upper left.

You know that split second before you do something you think you might regret but also might be totally worth it? It felt really good to squeeze the heck out of that blackberry and splatter it on the white marble vinyl backdrop. Of course, there was a chance it would stain, but I figured, "to heck with it!" (this is me living on the edge...btw). And the verdict is in. Wiped right up with soap and water. So the vinyl obsession continues... Highly recommending @inkandelmbackdrops and @cblbackdrops . 📸Canon 5D Mark IV - 50mm Sigma Art lens - f2.5 - ISO100 with @canonusa speedlite in a softbox with grid. The setup you can see has different food in it and a different backdrop but the placement of the light and the setup is otherwise all the same. . #foodstyling #foodbloggerpro #foodphotographer #abeautifulmess #risingtidesociety #fruitninja #heresmyfood
My undergraduate days at Arizona State were spent in the art history department, learning The Greats. 🎨 Caravaggio to Klimt, Monet, Michaelangelo, Kahlo, O’Keefe. My true loves were (and still are) Kandinsky and El Greco. I look to them (and others) for inspiration. Museums and art books are a great place to break loose from a creative block. 📚 To my own surprise and delight, all these years later, I’m actually using what I learned in college in my everyday work 📸❤️ Who are some of your favorite visual artists? 👩‍🎨 Also, new video is up on the channel featuring @twolovesstudio talking about growing as a photographer and honing your style. Also, new @patreon bonus video is posted, too!

I can’t promise to stop photographing tomatoes. I know there are a disproportionate number of tomato pics in my feed but they lure me in every dang time! That texture! That sparkle! . @patreon members, we’ll be going behind the scenes of this shot and talking through all of my creative decisions including the method for the composition and the lighting. .

The vinyl obsession continues...per recommendation from a few of you here on IG I ordered a few from @capturebylucy. This is my favorite one ❤️ we’re gonna need a vinyl intervention soon 😬 . 📸 Canon5D MarkIV- 50mm - ISO100 - f4.0 - 1/200 - using Canon speedlite in a strip softbox #foodphotography #testshoot #veganfood #greens #healthyish #foodbloggerpro #imsomartha #risingtidesociety
From a restaurant shoot #client last week when I told the bartender “give me something colorful.” Pretty sure it’s just straight OJ but check that ice, y’all...for anyone who saw the video about drinks on my #YouTube channel, you know what I’m talkin’ about. Thanks @susietimm for the BTS shot 🤗 . 📸Canon 5D MarkIV - 50mm - f1.4 - 1/125 - ISO800 - natural light on @inkandelmbackdrops #foodphotography #imbibegram #drinkstagram #phoenix #f52grams #happyhour #mycreativebusiness #feedfeed
