Hi Everyone!

I recently went back to a restaurant called "Plenty" in South Philadelphia. I did some interior and menu shots for them. What do you think, and would you rate these on a professional level?

Thanks!

Don't the professional food photographers spray something on photos to make them glisten ?

Well, since you asked...
You might consider a reflector to bring out a more evenly lit shot on 1,2,3 and 5.
Trying to be constructive, not complaining.
The others are fine just as is.
IMHO

Everything looks good and yes you need a little more lighting, maybe a good sized reflector. I think you've got it...the last photo looks like someone was in the picture and tried to hide, a ghost image...long exposure???

What are the chances out of all the posts, that I would choose yours to look at first....as I said before...these are great!

#1,2 & 3 I think needs soft fill flash or reflected lighting - just too dark to see the whole image.
the last one I would "off" those rail lights & use other lighting to avoid the glare on the menu board - again bounced flash or reflected light.

All said it looks like a fine place to eat.

For #1 specifically, do you think the bowl looks to dark, or just around it? I purposefully added a lot of Vignetting post processing to it so the bowl would be the main focus. Thanks!

Nice shots.

These remark's are from a beginner but these are my thought's....
#1 Too dark on the left side (not even)
#2 To much countertop showing at the top of the picture...draw's my attention away from the subject
#3 Read number two again
#4 The cookie picture to me is the best of the bunch (it all seems to come together in that shot.
#5 Very nice also
#6 ALso a good picture
#7 Scare's me not sure of what the item's in the bowl are (one thing look's like a tip of a finger)
#8 Is that a ghost behind the counter

Remeber that these reamrk's are from a beginner BUT those are my thought's

I have seen many of your picture's on here and you are very talented....Tom
