The Bite Shot on Instagram

Jumpin’ on that #toasttuesday wagon like it’s my job...oh wait, it is 💃 This shot was taken after I had gotten through my shot list for the client, during the inevitable post-shoot play time. Sometimes, those are the best shots. In this case, the crumbs were already haphazardly scattered and I didn’t have to over analyze them to make sure they looked perfectly imperfect. Even when you’re “working”, make sure to set aside some time to PLAY 📸 Canon5D MarkIV- 50mm - f5.0 - 1/13 - ISO 100 - lighting with @westcottlighting LED flex mat. No BTS here since it was shot a while ago ❤️ but the camera was mounted to the c-stand and image edited in @lightroom. #thehappynow #foodbloggerpro #foodphotography #bitchstolemylook #lifeandthyme #tlpicks #imsomartha
Amazing what one little edit can do. If you compare the first pic with the second, you’ll see I reduced the highlight and exposure on the prickly pears with the brush tool in @lightroom. Brings back the texture and the color of its skin but also helps it fall back into the background so that the sliced fruit can be the star. Swipe to the third to see the hot mess that is my cord setup today (never fear, I’m chatting with @tethertools to help solve that problem). #thebiteshot 📸Canon5D MarkIV- 50mm - f2.5 - 1/125 - ISO200 - lighting with Yongnuo speedlite #foodphotography #hotmess #gameoftones #darkfoodphoto #f52grams #bastaff #foodbloggerpro #creativityfound
I just announced our 5th Quick Fire Photo Challenge in The Bite Shot Facebook Group!! Any guesses what the theme is? I shared a live stream in the group outlining all the rules and some suggestions on how to rock this particular subject. AANNDDDD one of the prizes is pretty darn exciting for anyone who has ever wanted to get some 1-on-1 input from yours truly. So, head to the group, watch the video and CHALLENGE yourself! Oh, and if you’re not in the group, ask to join (link in bio) and be sure to fill out the three questions. We’re super picky about who we let in...no meanies allowed ✌️. #thebiteshot #foodphotography #foodbloggerpro #beautifulcuisines #foodtography #icecream #gameoftones #thehappynow
Mind blowing food fact of the week for me: sugar snap peas are a cross between English peas and snow peas! Is this fascinating to anyone but me?! 🙈... and for once, there’s a recipe that goes with this picture and it’s linked in my bio 🌱 Because I don’t want to forget that this whole crazy photography journey started from food blogging ❤️🤗#thebiteshot 📸Canon5D MarkIV- 50mm - ISO200 - 1/125 - f3.2 - lighting with Yongnuo speedlite and strip soft box with grid - swipe for the setup #thebiteshot #foodphotography #foodblogfeed #feedfeed #eeeeeats #imsomartha #chefsofinstagram #lowcarb #healthyfood
Peachy keen this Friday morning. The boys are enjoying a slice of cake (c’mon, it has fresh peaches and bananas in it...definitely healthier than Frosted Flakes!) Made this last night when I noticed two bananas past their prime. I love the Banana Cake from @sallysbakeblog but was short one banana, so I subbed a fresh ripe peach. Based on the disappearing act this cake is now making, I’d say the substitute was a success. And of course, cake always begs to be be photographed. Swipe to see the setup. #thebiteshot 📸 Canon5D MarkIV- 50mm - f2.2 - 1/125 - ISO320 - lighting with Yongnuo speedlite in a strip soft box with grid. #artificiallight #foodphotography #bakestagram #buzzfeast #beauifulcuisines #gloobyfood #imsomartha #cakeoff
Feeling clueless about working as a food photographer? Today I’m spillin’ the beans on a bunch of things that I was clueless about when I booked my first paid food photography gig so hopefully you can avoid the same learning curve I experienced 📸 Get the video linked in my bio. #foodphotography #foodphotographer #foodblogfeed #foodbloggerpro #feedfeed #foodnetwork #thebiteshot
