A photographer and his assistant came in the hotel at 9:30am and we finished at 4:30pm. 7hours!
It was very long tiring day indeed, but always interesting to see how the professional photographers take pictures of the food...
What makes us -amateurs- different from them -professionals-?
Cameras? Yes, they do have nice cameras. A single-lens reflex Canon or Nikon....
But, could I take a nice picture as they do, if I had a same camera as theirs??
No, I don't think so... it is more than just a camera.
I found the angle and lighting are very important factors to take a nice picture of food.Hopefully, I find some time to learn more about how to take nice pictures...
Pictures from a photo shooting in Taipei, June '10
the picture on the left; the photographer with a big nice camera!
on the middle; the picture taken by the photographer
and see pictures on the right taken by me with an ordinary camera;
still looks good because I took it from the place where the photographer was...
