One of the many Digital Photography Blogs, in this case I Speak Film, has published a nice interview with Matt Armendariz. Who is he? He is the highly talented chap behind the Matt Bites blog that many know.

I first ran across his blog after he designed a logo for Does My Blog Look Good In This (foodporn photo competition) and was captivated by the high quality of the photographs that adorn his site. Reading the interview, it became clear why the photos are so good - Matt is a professional photographer. Working at his home studio in the Los Angeles area and on location, Matt has created images for companies such as Whole Foods and Bristol Farms.

The article is worth reading for all the tips and advice that Matt imparts.
