Food

UPDATE: June 2014

This page features two types of food pictures: casual ones captured with the pocket Powershot G11 and commercial ones captured with not one but two EOS 5D Mark II and full blown light setup. If you cannot tell one from the other it’s because I put in considerable amount of effort in my work to make sure both are seamlessly integrated into this food photography portfolio.

A tribute to all chefs with whom I’ve the pleasure of working with.

This lemon juice droplet shot set a new record for the number of droplets captured during an actual photo shoot at Excapade Sushi – the record now stands at 4. This image was first revealed on Instagram some months back and I’ve decided it’s time I shared it here. See reactions on Facebook and Instagram

It’s as though the Chef read my mind, set the skewer ablaze for this photo op. Ok, I lied. He noticed I had a long white lens and I kinda nudged him to put on a show for me!

    1. Thank you. My favourite lens for food photography is the EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro. I started with the non Image Stabilized version and eventually switched to the 100mm f/2.8 Hybrid IS because I hand-hold a lot where it’s useful to have IS. Believe it or not, many of the food pictures you see here were photographed using the PowerShot G11.
