Yesterday was my Birthday, one made very special by my family and friends. In honor of the fact that I have managed to survive for 56 years, I’m going to spread the joy around a little and give away a new book that I have been enjoying. The book is Hélène Dujardin’s “Plate to Pixel”. Hélène is the author of one of my favorite food blogs, Tartelette. Her style is gorgeous, on the rustic side, and has a beautiful simplicity that I envy. In this book, she gives an incredible amount of information about every aspect of food photography, from styling to post-processing. There is something new to learn and think about in every chapter, and I’m sure I’ll be referring to it for a long time to come. And now, so can you. It’s simple – leave a comment, telling us why you think food photography is so popular, [just one entry each, and limited to US shipping addresses please] and you will be entered. Please be sure that you fill in the email on the comments, so I can get in touch with you if you win. Entries close on the 19th at midnight Eastern time and I will choose the winner next Friday May 20th via the random integer generator, and announce it that afternoon. In the meantime, you can check out the book on Amazon by clicking here: Plate to Pixel: Digital Food Photography & Styling
And, as always, thanks for your visits here – I appreciate you more than I can ever say.
