"Look at this! This isn't food porn! He needs to visit Jaden's site & learn how to take better photos!" It's amazing how often you come up in my food-related conversations...

Really? Are you SURE ??? While your observations of the original shot are perfect (I caught none), I now have a different take. Ya know how you follow a starlet of some ilk? Movies, Sound, Stage? And they're spot on? You're one with them, you want to be with them, hang out and see what happens? Then, one day, years down the road they're buying giraffes, speaking faux dialects and dating junkies? Listen to you. The cookbook is about you. The reason we're here is because of you. If you begin to attempt to please others? You're doomed. At least you're cute, you'll recover. xo, Biggles Hmmm, my thoughts? Really? Are you SURE ???

That can work well for some images, but for some reason it's not working here. If that is your intent, that's fine...but to me it looks like you need a larger depth of field....longer exposure time and a higher f-stop....say f-16? By the way, the last image of the scallops works well for me because the foreground and background are both unfocused, thus emphasizing the center. You do have some very nice images...

The close ups and pure food shots are vital to highlight the food's textures, flavors and overall drool factor. All the other styling stuff can tell a story about the culture and history of the food, through the use of the local and ethnic silverware. My most favorite magazine is Saveur and their photography incorporates both, simple close ups and great table set up to show the story about the food, it's people and culture. My motto is to show the food and tell a story about where it came from and it's environment- real food from real people. So, I prefer to show all different styles of food shots, both close up and from a distance. You're right, there is a-lot of brown in your photo, but it's still darn good!
