I always enjoy your photos because you do such an amazing job of allowing me to "see" through your eyes. Which is probably why you find the art of still life challenging...your used to showing so much "life" in your work! These photos, however, are still stunning. Your uncertainty certainly doesn't show through a bit.

And please say you got to eat that

Yes! Food styling is very tedious which is why even though I enjoy it,I dread all the setup and cleanup. I think our shots could be more interesting, but I am too lazy, lol!

Among my top favorites of your photo compositions are the starfish. I have never before seen starfish so beautifully presented and so memorable.

I would love to hear ONE anecdote you learned about magazine food styling. I subscribe to a number of food mags and I often wonder what it takes to produce those lovely photos.... maybe another post??? xoxo

I've always thought your photographs were lovely...but then you have always been "connected" to your subjects. Those make the best photos.
And these are really excellent too. It was worth taking the class-even though you had some doubts.
I'd love to take a class like that just to get some tips and a new outlook for my pathetic blog photos. Perhaps I should begin with

It sounds like a fun - and very helpful class! (And I had to giggle a bit...there's a reason why I don't ever talk about/show my own cooking, no matter how special the dish)

I completely agree with your observations on the importance of connection. I think that's an important thing to discover, if for no other reason than it helps to fuel your everyday creative work

Yes, you have a style! And I love it!

very interesting post. YOUR food snaps are always related to you, lecia, and they are beautiful. i have to say, though, that if you hadn't described your feelings, i would have felt you did have a connection to the objects above. especially the first two.

and, yes, of course you have a style. so glad that you made that conscious for yourself. keep snapping, lecia, the things

I think the "connection" one feels as an artist is so incredibly important and it was refreshing to hear your take on describing a certain level of discomfort.
Your photos however, do a great job of masking any discomfort.
