How was your interest in food photography sparked? Can you name a moment in time when it clicked in your mind and you realized that photography was more than a hobby, but a passion?<\/h2>\n
Can you describe to us your creative process behind your food photographs? Do you plan each photo out before taking the shot or are they created more organically?<\/h2>\n
During your course of becoming a professional food photographer, what is something you didn\u2019t expect out of the journey?<\/h2>\n
What influences your work? Do you look to other photographers for inspiration, or does your inspiration come from other sources?<\/h2>\n
\nThen \u2013 it\u2019s all around. For example, I did not photograph for two months, well, totally not in the mood [to] \u2026 one day I went with my husband to a new coffee shop and saw sandwiches there \u2026 Immediately I bought them and gave them a photo shoot for the full program: with new props, the selection of textures, change of fresh greens, brewed coffee \u2026 \ud83d\ude42 everything that I photograph \u2013 this is my way of communicating with the world. this is my inner. it\u2019s me. (see photo above)<\/p>\nCan you name a collection or single work that you have created that has resonated with you the most emotionally? Why is this collection or single work significant to you?<\/h2>\n
Could you describe a typical set-up of one of your food photographs? Do you travel to a studio or do you have a studio of your own for your food shots?<\/h2>\n
Can you please give us insight to the equipment you use in regards to the types of cameras and lights you use?<\/h2>\n
How important is collaboration regarding your artistic projects? Do you typically work with a team or alone, could you explain the process?<\/h2>\n
\nIf it is shooting for a restaurant, the presence of one of the chef would be sufficient.<\/p>\nWhat do you think makes a great photograph? For example is it the lighting, the set, equipment that you use? Or is it something else?<\/h2>\n
What would be your words of inspiration and wisdom for those who are just starting, those that are finding their passion, and those seeking their style? What is the most important thing you have learned that you want to share with the world?<\/h2>\n
