Food and Drink

August 2023

It's obvious you've used a fairly complex lighting setup for this shot and it has really paid off! The parts of the cinnamon you have chosen to highlight are just perfection and it makes the cinnamon sticks look almost magical in that jar. Gorgeous photo.

You've managed to take a very simple subject and make it really beautiful. I particularly appreciate your edit on this image. It's lit perfectly and just shows off the fried egg so incredibly well. It looks so appetizing and like it's just asking somebody to burst the yolk!

There's so much to love about this photograph, but mostly I appreciate how immersed I feel in the image. The lighting is just absolutely stunning and I feel like I can practically smell those sausages cooking. The clarity and colouring on the smoke is also really nicely done - great job!

This photograph was really well executed. The focus, lighting and colouring are all on point, and the composition of the subject and ingredients are deliberate without looking forced. I want to take a big refreshing sip of every one of those smoothies!

**This contest is open to photographers ranked 1000+ in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** If it’s edible or drinkable, let’s see it! Food and drink photographers are often highly skilled still life photographers, with cunning tricks to make the food look absolutely scrumptious. It’s a genre that’s been more than democratised though in recent times, and taking a shot of the cool food you’ve just been served up is the norm for a lot of folk now.
