Today\u2019s NaBloPoMo Prompt:<\/strong> Do you sometimes make recipes due to the accompanying photo?<\/em><\/p>\n

Not really, no. I mean, I like food porn as much as the next guy, but my wife\u2019s the one who does all the cooking, and that\u2019s not because I\u2019m a sexist pig, it\u2019s because she\u2019s really good at it and really enjoys it.<\/p>\n

For what it\u2019s worth, and many occasions she\u2019s made something spectacular and asked me to photograph it. Food photography is tough. I don\u2019t have nearly the right kind of lighting options to make her dishes look anywhere close to how delicious they are.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had a few successes, though. She compiled a cookbook of her family\u2019s recipes to give to her sister as a wedding gift, and I shot a lot of the photos. (Not all of them\u2014 we had to go stock for lots of things). We made copies of the cookbook for others in the family, after they say the book itself, liked the recipes, and liked the photos.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to looking at pictures myself, I\u2019m rarely moved to go try what I\u2019m seeing. Watching my wife cook, I know that the only thing harder than good food photography is making really good food! And let\u2019s face it, no one wants food that looks better than it tastes \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
