We need a cooking section!!!

No, not one about cooking the books or even the capture but one about real cooking sharing not industrial food pictures but picture of meal or item one creates as well as photographs (and share the recipe).
After all photography is a way to document and it would be really interesting to literally see how one would mix his cooking habits with a photographer workflow in order to present their 'fare'....

No way. I've tried exactly this process, photographing during the construction of a meal (do be careful where you place your camera between takes :) ) hoping to get a shot of food I feel is good. The food is usually great but I can't say the same thing for the photos :) :)
Cooking food is hard enough and no matter how good it tastes, sometimes photographing real food is too hard and it never looks as good on paper as it is in your mouth. I've been practicing food photography for a long time now and still can't really make a meal look great.
But, I'd be willing to participate. I've invested in cutlery and neat plates....
And I have a recipe or two I might share.......

This might work better with a partner - one concentrating on meal prep while the other focuses (pun intended) on the photography.

Damn... I thought you were going to get into how to 'cook' something that is 'RAW' in a 'Plain Pot (PP)' to make something that is 'Just Plain Good (JPG)'.

Pretty good. Not bad at all. :thumbup:

I remember reading once that photographing food and making it look appealing is not an easy thing to do. Especially if I've cooked it!:)
A cooking section could be interesting and educational.

Food photography is a con
They use glycerine or even varnish to make things shine
Like still life the art is in the composition so one needs plenty of different bowls and plates as well as place mats.
When you enter food competitions you cook differently than usual. I can remember threading glace cherries onto wires so that they would stay in place within a maderia cake and sieving the bran out of whole meal flour,then boiling it up to soften it before remixing to make a loaf.
I think food and recipe's are done to death on the web without bringing it in here.
What might help folks is an A-Z of places in photographs. How many times do you get asked 'what to photograph' at a certain destination. Now that would be an interesting project.
Have fun

Delectable, delicious, enticing, and I will put on a few pounds just from licking my screen. But maybe the act of cleaning it will burn the calories again.

WHOAA!!! You added some photos as I was typing my previous post (there were only the first 3), and that changes the context of my words completely!!!

Apologies I am kind of between studios, 2700 miles from my previous one, so some of the photos are just snapshots, not up to the standards of studio food photography like the "Endorphin Rush Pie Prep Steps" photo. I used to keep a basic food photo lighting setup at my project studio just to shoot things I baked. Baking is what I do when I am not making biz plans, writing my novel or movies, and shooting. A delicious diversion.
