Food: Weekly Photography Challenge
This week we published a post with 5 simple tips to get a strong image of Food to go with the many Food Photography articles in our archives (see below for some links) so we thought ‘Food’ might make a good theme for this weeks challenge.
Feel free to take images of any type of food you wish. It can be breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. It might be food being eaten or styled on a plate. It might be a mouth watering cake, a sizzling steak or a tempting treat – it’s totally up to you.
I really can’t wait to see what you come up with this week!
Once you’ve taken and selected the ‘FOOD’ image that you’d like to share – upload it to your favourite photo sharing site or blog and either share a link to it or – embed them in the comments using our embed tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSFOOD to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks challenge – Family challenge where there were some great shots submitted.

Well I have to give love and respect to the great people of the Hot Bread Kitchen who increase economic security for foreign-born and low-income women and men by opening access to the billion dollar specialty food industry. Plus don’t the pastries look delicious?

I experimented with food photography for a while and really enjoyed it, it much more difficult than it may seem.

I love french food and was lucky enough to recently have a holiday in France.
I wasn’t going to post these food photos from my trip, but they seemed perfect for this challenge:

Did a tiny test recently for a concept I’ve had brewing for a few months.
Didn’t get a chance to cook the little blighters but am looking forward to the final shoot for this one so that I can really get them looking plentiful and shiny and lovely. I know you either love them or hate them, but really…aren’t they super pretty?
More to come, hopefully with further development and more time spent!

This is one of the photos of the last post in my blog. I really like bakery but I enjoy so much taking photos of the things I do that I think that I spend much more time with the photos that with the recipe
