I receive a lot of comments, questions, and emails about my food photography: what camera I use, how I shoot my pictures, etc., so I've decided to share some of the common Q&A's here... Q: What camera do you use? A: Prior to March 24, 2007, I used Canon Digital Elph SD450. Currently, I shoot with Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR. Q: What are the tricks to great lighting? A: I shoot all my food pictures close to the windows (with the blinds up) or in my patio (I never take food pictures with direct sunlight casting on my food because it's too harsh). Q: What kind of lenses do you use for food photography? A: I use the kit lens which is Canon EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 and also Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II macro lens. I use the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II mostly nowadays because it takes really great shots and great for traveling. Q: What are the tips and tricks to take great food photography? A: My food photography is really simple and minimalist. I like to focus on the food more than anything else. I use mostly white dinnerware and white background to call out the color and texture of the dishes I presented. I love the food photography in Donna Hay Magazine--clean, crisp, and sophisticated--so I try to replicate the look and feel of that style.

post a commentI totally agree with using white dishes. No distractions, just the food :)
You know what a huge fan I am of your work.
the pictures are just simply mindblowing! I was recently in a Malaysian restaurant in Flushing NY where they made really good kang kung belacan.
you have the best pics: amazing
I am in love with your photography. Awesome Shots!!!
Came here through Dining Hall.
Many thanks for sharing those tips.
That is very nice of you. I know a couple of bloggers who take fab pics but are reluctant to share information.
Thanks so much!
Great pictures here. I happen to love food photography too and have loads of food pics on my blog but they pale in comparison yto your pics. Macro lenses truly are a blessing aren't they.
The prettiest food blog on the web!!!
I just wanted to thank you for being such an inspiration. I'm a new Rebel XT owner, and I get so frustrated when I see the beautiful food photos taken with the Canon 5D and other higher-end models, because I feel like I can never achieve that level of beauty in my pictures. I absolutely love your photography, and I'm so thrilled that you shoot with the Rebel XT. You've truly inspired me to keep at it, and I thank you for that.
do you use any lighting at all aside from natural light? whenever I take pictures outside, but not in direct sunlight (meaning, in the shade), things look too dark. i'm kind of frustrated.
