Strobist Food Challenge

I am a huge fan of Strobist so when the first food photography challenge was presented, I had to jump in. I'd never done anything like this before, so I attempted a few different set ups.

In the spirit of DIY, everything for the shoot was either purchased at the dollar store or what I had around the house.

Then I got hungry...

Humus


Don't mind the mess of my old apartment. As you can clearly see, a "good" studio isn't needed for good photography...


I also decided to challenge myself with food that didn't automatically look nice. This was my dinner that night from a local Chinese take out place...
