All you aspiring food photographers (and some of you professionals) should have a look at photographer Michael Ray's
Food Photography Blog. Organized more as collection of
Ray's articles than as a blog, the site has tons of interesting tips and techniques that pros and amateurs will find
useful. Granted, those of us that take pictures for our blogs probably aren't going to hack up our barbecue grills and
install lights and gels underneath them when we photograph our tuna steaks. Nevertheless, plenty of Ray's insights
about lighting and composition are good to keep in mind for when we're in our own studios, er, kitchens. This
step-by-step photo walk-through of setting up a
shoot is especially cool. [Photo: Michael Ray]
