Do You Capture What You Eat?

[Ed Rooney]

I do, and maybe too often. I've been snapping away at my scrambled eggs recently, and I think I've finally done  the perfect scrambled eggs photo. Ouch! I hurt my arm trying to pat myself on the back. You judge. This is scrambled eggs with ham. I did that eggs along this morning. It's not on Alamy yet. 

 

 

Do you think it would be a good idea to delete all the less-perfect captures?

Or do you eat what you capture?

Hey Ed,

You must be getting good at certain dishes! If you've got any similars, I'd delete them yes. But you've got a knife and fork in another shot and a coffee in another, so I'd keep those. Interesting to see how simple you're keeping it - I think that's key for successful food shots. I'm getting to the point where I wonder if I should spend some money on some simple plain stuff just to do food shots!!

Ham n eggs with toasted fruit loaf? You must be from different parts...Maybe i'll interest you with some vegan options in the future  

[Ed Rooney]

That's a toasted hot cross bun, Jay.

 

I think you are right, Steve. Simple dishes are more searchable.

Do you capture what you eat?

 

No I buy it at food outlets.

Actually to be serious I do take photos of what I am about to eat but not often as I only think of it when I am halfway through eating it. I don't think any buyer would want an image of a half eaten dish of food however good it may be.  As an aside I don't remember ever selling one of my food images.

Actually Edo has awakened a dish I used to have some time ago. Must try it again.

 

Smoked salmon slices and scrambled egg.

 

Quick, simple and nutritious.  Nothing fattening.

That's very popular in New York, Allan . . . with a bagel.

 

Steve, I did a general search on Alamy for 'scrambled eggs ham' and found 7 of mine on the first two pages. So I don't think I'll delete any. None are true similars, since each was snapped on a different morning.

I do a lot of snapping at my food - but only if it's plated ok. Although sometimes sloppy is good too. I also take photos while I'm chopping, stirring, and cooking or baking. I also like kitchen still lifes.
