Photograph a Thanksgiving Feast: Add Spice and Flavor to Food Photography with this Menu of Tantalizing Tips

Boone, NC (PRWEB) November 19, 2008 -- With the holidays upon us, many amateur photographers want to know how to take mouthwatering culinary photographs without disappointing results. Give thanks, because now the table is set to find out the secrets about the appetizing topic of food photography.

Expert photographer Ron Goldman sits down with host Dr. Audri Lanford to share his culinary photography knowledge and answer 7 of the biggest questions about food photography in this week's free "7 Photography Questions" podcast.

"Setting up food photography shots requires time, patience, and effort," acknowledges Goldman - who teaches several photography classes including one titled The Art of Food Photography at the Perfect Picture School of Photography. Fortunately he reveals how any photographer can get free professional help with some of the most labor-intensive aspects of food photography.

"Restaurants are often happy to trade services," says Goldman. "That is a great way to build a portfolio without having to hire a food stylist or personal chef to prepare dishes to photograph." Goldman knows from experience because his recent clients include Chef Magazine and the Portland Menu Guide.

Listen in to this insightful conversation as Goldman offers tips on these tantalizing topics, and explains how to:

• Plan a Thanksgiving photography session while avoiding stress and strain.

• Make entrees look hot and steamy as if they just came from the oven.

• Shoot culinary colors that look fresh, real, and vibrantly tasty.

• Debunk the two biggest myths about food photography.

• Find out what lenses, accessories, and gear are needed for food photography.

• Present food to look its best before and during a shoot.

Towards the end of the interview, Goldman shares several of his own gorgeous photographs of food and tells the stories behind them.
