It was part of a food photography portfolio building projectEditing
The post processing was basic color, contrast and sharpening process with a slight crop.In my camera bag
I carry two Canon dslr bodies, two speedlights and three to four lenses.Feedback
Be mindful of the quantity and quality of your lighting. Direction of light and the light intensity if critical when doing food photography. One might think that composition isn't as important when photographing food but if the composition confuses the viewer then the image would not be appealing to the viewer. You then miss the objective of food photography which is to get the viewer to desire the food they are looking at.
