Hi guise,

A few of you know I am attempting to become a normal person and start a culinary career. At the moment I'm trying to get a food blog up and running and am experimenting with various aspects of photography to illustrate it.

I know what I think looks good, but seeing as the aim is to make this **** look good to people who live on the internets I would like to know what you guys think.

I have no experience with photography so if any of you do and this is terrible please don't be too mean.

I HAVE MADE POLE MULTICHOICE SO YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE BOTH BASTARD AND YOUR ACTUAL CHOICE TY COME AGAIN

1.

1 & 2 are contrasts of hard/soft focus with different focal lengths, 3 and 4 are completely different compositions?

Great job! If your culinary career doesn't work out looks like you just may have one in photography. 4 & 5 look the best. 5's my personal favorite

I think 1 looks best....but still not very good

Maybe try asking cookie or someone who rules these threads in OOT and EDF, he always has amazing photos of food.

I think the problem is that there's some nondescript ingredients especially in the first two pics. For example, what is that dark red stuff, beet? The grilled cheese looks good, but you see mainly bell pepper, cheese and breadcrumbs. I'm not an expert, but my guess is that you need another ingredient to attract some visual attention.
