Your blog has now become my go-to site for food photography tips… Thanks!  March 14, 2011 - 9:59 am
Thanks Jason! Glad you have enjoyed the Photo Tips. Let me know if there are any subjects you want to see covered!  March 14, 2011 - 11:28 am
Hi Taylor, Thank you for the article! It was such an informative read. When I shoot food, I normally am indoors using diffused window light. What would you suggest my white balance setting to be? I normally leave it at Auto but as I’ve seen here, knowing what setting to use make for a huge, better difference. Thanks!  March 14, 2011 - 1:29 pm
Learning how to adjust the white balance on my camera completely changed my photography. A short post on setting custom WB would probably be really helpful to alot of people. Thanks for the great post. March 14, 2011 - 3:19 pm
Thanks Janet! I will come up with something in the next few weeks  March 14, 2011 - 3:56 pm
Just stumbled on your site via foodgawker and this is a great post! I figured out WB mostly by trial and error but this is a nice simple explanation of it! March 14, 2011 - 4:44 pm
Thanks Melissa! I am so glad that you found this tutorial useful!  March 14, 2011 - 7:08 pm
I love the post Taylor. I think these posts about how to take photos is really helpful to a lot of people.  March 24, 2011 - 9:39 am
Great post! I tend to overlook white balance settings when shooting food photography, this was extremely helpful March 24, 2011 - 1:00 pm
thanks Jenelle! Glad you found this helpful!  July 20, 2011 - 11:59 pm
hi Taylor, Thanks for your tutorial series on food photography. I’m learning food photography hence your tips are very useful. I’ve got some acknowledgments for my daylight photos. But feedback for my night photos has been “over exposed or too harsh lighting”. These are 2 links for photos i’ve shot during night time. I use 2 cool daylight florescent lamps, one on left side of the subject and other light coming from top. I also have my exposure to +1/3, do a custom white balance setting. (by photographing white a4 sheet in same lighting and setting it as custom white balance) Can you view my photos and give your suggestions to improve my photos shot during night. Thanking You, Abi  April 8, 2012 - 9:52 am
hi taylor i am first time to your site. read all your brilliant photography articles…. a must read for every food blogger who is passionate about food photography.
 It is Friday and time to celebrate another food! Today, March 11th, is National Oatmeal Nut Waffles Day. I guess there really is a day for everything! 11 comments  March 11, 2011 - 12:17 pm
Taylor, you are so amazing! These look DELISH! Maybe I will ask for a waffle maker for my birthday so that I can make yummy ones like you. Love the peach-cinnamon syrup idea! You have such a gift. Thanks for sharing! March 11, 2011 - 1:48 pm
My husband won’t let me add a belgian waffle maker to my appliance grave yard. I’ll have to live vicariously through you this week. I hope they tasted as good as they looked. March 11, 2011 - 1:50 pm
Thanks Katherine! I hope you are doing well! March 11, 2011 - 1:51 pm
Not a problem Janet! Thanks for all your participation so far!  March 11, 2011 - 10:21 pm

The “experts” say that cupcakes were so 2010, and that the fad is over. Well I still like cupcakes. If 2010 was the year of the cupcake, then I definitely ate my fair share of them. Here is a collection of my favorite cupcakes from across the country. 14 comments March 10, 2011 - 10:26 am

Yum!!! So my daughter’s birthday is coming up and we’ve made a tradition of going to a cupcake store/bakery to celebrate. I’m tired of the place I usually take her so I was wondering if you had a recommendation for Salt Lake City. Thanks! March 14, 2011 - 12:17 pm

Glad you liked it Shelby!  March 29, 2011 - 3:25 pm
Oh, Taylor, I so did not need to know this, but thank you. I think I will try this with some delicious cara cara oranges.  May 17, 2011 - 5:18 pm
Try in infusing the syrup before adding OJ. Flavors like: juniper, clove, chamomile, cinnamon, eucalyptus, lemon grass, jasmine, violet, lavender, cardamom, basil, mint, dill or ginger go well with the orange one. As so try balancing the sweet/sour contrast with apple cider, yuzu, chardonnay or champagne instead of lemon juice. Make your favorite combination and strain it into an ISI siphon for extra bubbles.

These are great tips! I almost always take most of my food photographs at night, so this is a great help. Over the weekend I actually made a cheap version of a Lowel Ego (found the instructions here: http://bsinthekitchen.com/?p=829)… It works pretty well, but I think two would be better.  March 7, 2011 - 11:17 am

Love the photography tips! They are a huge help!! You have a great blog, I stumbled onto your food tour and loved seeing Boulder (I went to school at CU, but haven’t been back in 5 yrs). Your tailgating tour was awesome too, my wife who went to Penn St. sent it off to all her old college friends! Great Photos, keep up the good work! March 8, 2011 - 11:42 am
Thanks Lyle! I am so glad to hear you have enjoyed the projects I have done! I has a blast at both Boulder and tailgating in Penn St. Great places! Thanks for the comment. If there is anything you would like to see let me know! March 8, 2011 - 11:44 am

A great tutorial. I always forget the importance of using a white board to balance the shadows. Thanks for reminding me how something so simple as this can make such a huge difference.  March 9, 2011 - 3:39 pm
Such a great post, Taylor. Your tips are wonderful. I’ve never felt comfortable with shooting inside at night, so I now tend to avoid it. You make it seem so straightforward! March 9, 2011 - 4:59 pm

Hi Taylor, I’ve been thinking of getting a Lowell Tota light for food photography but the thing is, it’s not available here in the Philippines so I basically need to research on it online to give me feedback. Your entry has been the most helpful! My main concern was whether it was going to give me a natural light look or not. Though I was just wondering, since there are quite a few kinds of tota lights in the market, what would you recommend? What kind of bulb? Wattage and such? Thanks again!  March 21, 2011 - 10:54 am
Thanks for this post! I had almost given up on taking good pictures, because I wasn’t committed enough to spend a ton of money on a good light. I bought a painter’s light this weekend, and my pictures already show a huge difference!! March 21, 2011 - 10:57 am
Awesome Michelle! Glad to hear you found this useful! A painter’s light is a great night shooting source.  March 29, 2011 - 12:32 pm

I haven’t had a piece of pound cake to celebrate today-sad! After seeing your photos I must celebrate tomorrow!  March 4, 2011 - 8:57 pm
I didn’t know there was a Pound Cake Day! Growing up in Singapore and you could get Sara Lee products in the supermarket there. My mum used to buy Sara Lee Pound Cake and serve it with vanilla ice cream. I LOVED it! So it was store-bought. But still, my young mind and tastebuds thought it was yummy. I think my mum tried to make it as well, but it just wasn’t the same. I now live in New Zealand and I’ve never seen it sold anywhere. And strangely, I’ve not come across a pound cake recipe either since I’ve embarked on this cooking/baking hobby of mine. This pound cake recipe is going on my baking to-do list. Nothing like going down food-memory lane. Thanks for posting this recipe!  March 4, 2011 - 9:10 pm
Loved seeing your article about National Pound Cake Day!! It’s the best day of the year – especially when you make pound cakes every day and love it!! Hope everyone tries a good pound cake today, or emails me at simplythebestcakes@gmail.com to find out more. I grew up loving these cakes thanks to two grandmothers, and now bake them from my home, ship all over, and folks love them…anytime!! Need one? Good luck with your endeavors in the food world. SBC  March 4, 2011 - 10:08 pm
This is an amazing pound cake, and am sure must be a true delight to have any time. will try it for sure ! March 5, 2011 - 12:54 am
I love this feature on your blog! I’m consistently amazed at the different national food days. I’m also amazed those photos were taken at night – now you have me really intrigued.  March 5, 2011 - 9:47 am
This totally inspired me to make a pound cake last night. Looks gorgeous!! March 5, 2011 - 2:27 pm
I haven’t made a pound cake from scratch in years until this week. Lemon pound cake was a staple in my house growing up and I’ve finally found a good recipe. I had almost forgotten how good they can be. I added my pics to the Flickr pool. March 5, 2011 - 3:13 pm
Awesome Janet! I will check them out. Glad you were able to celebrate pound cake day! March 5, 2011 - 3:14 pm

Thanks Marla! Glad to hear you love Brinner as well!  March 2, 2011 - 11:53 am
And here I thought I was the only one who used the term brinner. I make something similar to this all the time, but have never tried the “college beer bread.” WIll definitely look into that, thanks for the recipe!  March 2, 2011 - 1:46 pm
brinner is super popular in my house too. i love that the bacon-bourbon makes the cocktail breakfasty as well!  March 2, 2011 - 4:47 pm
@ DessertforTwo… DYING! i like how your mind works brinner is the best though.. my boyfriend thinks I’m crazy every time i pull out the eggs at dinner, but it really is the best time for breakfast foods!  March 2, 2011 - 5:43 pm
Now this is my kind of breakfast! Looks delicious. You have a beautiful blog and I’m looking forward to exploring your recipes and seeing more!  March 2, 2011 - 6:54 pm

I just found this site and have signed up to have my blog included (in progress hopefully). If there’s anything that all the food blogs I love have in common, it’s the photography. I still use a point and shoot, but will rectify that as soon as tax season is done (oh the life of a freelance writer!). I plan to take some courses in lighting, but this article really helps. I will also read your post about night lighting that you recommended. Thanks Taylor, much appreciated advice!  February 28, 2011 - 3:49 pm
Hello. I follow you on twitter as a fellow Charlottean and I just happened to check my twits or whatever they’re called, today, and I just had to check this post out. Thanks so much for your help. I am currently living in South America as a newlywed with the hubby and the houses aren’t like back home. There is barely any light that enters and I have one good window that I try to take my pics by. But sometimes it’s just so hard to get the right picture. I use the back of a board that’s white to reflect the light and I can totally see a difference. I am just a babe starting out in this blog world but hope to see a change in my pictures as I progress. Thanks again. February 28, 2011 - 4:05 pm

Great post! I’ve never thought of diffusing the light from a window. I had no idea what a difference it makes! I wish I had more daylight hours available to shoot and a full-sized window door like you’ve got sure would be nice! March 1, 2011 - 10:40 am
Thanks so much for sharing some tips on lighting! I just recently moved to Charlotte and am having a bit of difficulty in finding a new window to shoot by and what time of day. I look forward to tying out some of these tricks once I do! March 1, 2011 - 10:42 am
great post! i don’t know all the technicalities of photography, nor am i a photographer by any means (i’m more the point and shoot with my digital camera and don’t change many functions), but it’s cool to see the different tricks for getting a particular shot. March 1, 2011 - 11:16 am
Thanks Kristen. A smaller Window will work as well, my balcony door is just easiest for me to use. I am thinking about doing a post on shooting at night. It seems that lack of daylight shooting time is a common problem for people. Thanks for the comment. March 6, 2011 - 2:53 pm

Kathy, Here is a post on shooting at night! Hope this helps March 8, 2011 - 1:07 am
Thanks a lot, it’s very very useful. I however still have few doubts. I understand these techniques, but what about the camera , what exposure point should we keep it at ? and what mode should we use .. AV ? March 8, 2011 - 11:51 am
Kankana, Your exposure will all depend on the lighting in your environment, so I can’t say for sure what that should be. It is unique to each environment. I shoot on Manual mode but you could use AV if your want. You will have to increase your exposure by opening up the aperture ( for example changing from f 5.6 to f 4) of increase the shutter speed ( example for from 1/200th of a second to 1/100th) when you add diffusion to the light. Adding a sheet to diffuse the light will decrease the intensity of the light so you will have to increase the exposure to compensate for that. I can’t say how much because that depends on the diffusion material. I hope that helps! March 11, 2011 - 11:39 am

Having published on photograzing a bunch of times, but being rejected by foodgawker (grrr) a bunch of times, I was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I came across your tutorials and lighting tips. Great advice. I’m going to resubmit some pics soon. You’ve encouraged me! Thanks.  November 4, 2011 - 1:45 pm

thank u so much … very helpful to me ….  November 30, 2011 - 3:57 am
Hi Taylor – I wanted to let you know that after reading just one of your tutorials, I reshot a recipe and submitted what I thought was my best shot to both Tastespotting and Foodgawker, and had it published by both this week! I had actually stopped submitting my shots after 26 consecutive rejections last year, (for a different blog) by Foodgawker and I can’t tell you how elated I feel right now. Thank you so much for your pointers – they have proven more helpful to me than anything else I have so far read on the internet!! I consider your site required reading for all food bloggers who are serious about improving their photography and editing skills.  December 13, 2011 - 2:33 am
Thanks for the tips, started a food blog and every image so far sent to tastespotting has been rejected. December 13, 2011 - 1:11 pm
You are welcome Matthew. Don’t Worry about rejection. Just keep practicing! Good luck with the new blog!  January 16, 2012 - 1:13 pm
Hi Taylor, thank you for this useful information! When you use the sheet as a diffuser, did you still use the fill? Also, can you please explain the difference between the picture with the fill 6 inches away and the large diffusion picture? They look very similar to me shadow-wise and I’m wondering if there is a difference and when you would use one technique over the other. Thanks! February 4, 2012 - 10:14 pm

Thanks for letting me know about this special day. I think I will have chocolate covered nuts for lunch and clam chowder for dinner. Love your photos!  February 25, 2011 - 12:08 pm
This is a great post. I will need to have a few chocolate-covered nuts to celebrate. I just had to check-in on your blog because I always am attracted to your photos on Foodgawker, and just now, as I was reading the comments in David Lebovitz’ “Food Blogging” post, I saw you there, again. The food blog world is huge, but seems so small sometimes! -Terry February 25, 2011 - 12:50 pm

The Bacon was great. Just regular bacon, you only use the grease from the bacon in the bourbon February 24, 2011 - 4:55 pm
I love bourbon and whiskey, but not sure I could handle this  February 25, 2011 - 11:40 am
Have you found your bacon bourbon to be a bit oily? People either love it or hate it and I’ve found “too oily/greasy” to be the main gripe. February 25, 2011 - 12:51 pm

The Fashionably Bombed Girls
Taylor - Flannery & Katherine Thanks! Glad you like the cookie dough. I looked at the mojito, it looks great! Yes, what can I say, I do like my green beer on St. Patrick’s day!
Kaitlin - Yummy! The cookie dough sounds awesome.
Also, the head on that beer is perfect! Nice work
Taylor - Thanks Kaitlin!
Sarah - THAT LOOKS INSANE! I’ve never actually seen that before anywhere! Crazy stuff and so bookmarked!
Jennifer (Delicieux) - Oh my God the deep fried cookie dough looks amazing and your amazing photos have made my mouth water! I love the photo of the deep fried dough drizzled in chocolate syrup. Looks like heaven!
Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen - Those cookie dough balls are insane! There’s just too many good things happening there. Those wouldn’t last very long around me either!
Julie @ Willow Bird Baking - WILL BE FRYING COOKIE DOUGH ASAP.
Taylor - Thanks Sylvie! Glad you liked them!
Taylor - Thanks Jennifer, it contributes to the argument that frying makes things better.
Taylor - Thanks Sarah! Glad you liked it!
Miss @ Miss in the Kitchen - Just when I start trying to talk myself into eating less fried food I come across this. You know a southern girl has got to try this! YUM!
Hannah at FleurDeLicious - YUM. I had some at the State Fair of Texas last year…along with a fried peanut butter & jelly sandwich. Looks like you did a fantastic job recreating them!
Emma - This sounds utterly indecently good, I know what comfort I’m turning to next time I’m in need of a sweet treat!
Alicia - Looks delish, just like the ones at the fair! Quick question: How much chocolate chips did you use for the recipe? I don’t see them listed… Thanks!
Taylor - Thanks Alicia! 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, u can use regular size or the mini size if you want!
Steph - You are killing me. I haven’t even had breakfast yet and now all I want deep fried dough.
On another note: love your site! Keep up the great work.
Taylor - Thanks Steph, glad you like the site! Sorry for making you want cookie dough.
melissa@IWasBornToCook - Just came across your blog – how could I NOT comment on this? Cookie dough is my favorite – then frying it? WOW.
Laurel - Deep fried what?! Yum!! I’d love for you to submit this to the M&T Spotlight at http://www.makeandtakes.com/spotlight
Maria - Oh my! Talk about a treat!
Erica - They look absolutely amazing. Why do you use self-rising flour for the batter? Would it work ok if I used all-purpose? I only ask because they look so good I want to make them ASAP but I only have all purpose in the house.
Taylor - Erica! So glad to hear that you liked it. It should work with regular, there is really only one way to find out, try it and see. I used Self Rising because it is what I had on hand, and I was very happy with the results! I hope you enjoy them!

Katie - That looks like 35,483 kinds of delicious.
Kita - I saw this on Tastespotting or foodgawker the other day and was in love, then you just came up in stumbledupon so I figure it must be fate. I have got to try these.
Carolyn Jung - OMG, how wicked are these! Brilliant twist on the usual choco chip cookie.
Taylor - Thanks Carolyn!
fajas colombianas - These are the best! I tried adding oreo crumbs and they worked amazing.
Taylor - Glad to hear! Adding Oreo crumbs is an awesome idea!
DP - Looks fantastic!
BTW, note that you can get pasteurized eggs — Bristol Farms carries them where we live — so that you can have raw eggs in your cookie dough or caesar salads and not have to worry about salmonella.
susan - this would be a dessert that would get devoured in my house and every bite would be embraced! love your photos!
Baking Serendipity - This looks too good to be true…
Amber | Bluebonnets & Brownies - Us Texans definitely know how to do it right. I did not get to the Texas State Fair this year, and I am filled with regret and remorse all over again.
Miranda - This is beautiful. My fiancee and I are working on a Carnival/Fair themed reception when we get married in 2012 all we’ve found so far besides the typical funnel cake was deep fried Coke and Deep fried bananas… I’m totally gonna suggest this to him now!
Niamh - I’M ACTUALLY DROOLING!!!
