Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

Great food always elicits strong reactions-the smell of freshly baked bread, the taste of a perfectly prepared steak. The job of a food photographer is to elicit that same mouth-watering reaction, but without the benefit of scent or taste. A well-shot photograph can send crowds flocking to a new restaurant or boost the sales of a culinary magazine. Capturing the perfect image requires a trained eye, finesse, and photographic skill. Digital Food Photography gives you the ingredients to cook up your own recipe for success-with professional lighting techniques, composition, food and prop styling, retouching, and tricks of the trade. You'll learn how digital photography combines teamwork, creativity, and technology, and how to make money creating delectable works of photographic art.


About the Author

Lou Manna is an award-winning Olympus visionary photographer whose work has appeared in national ad campaigns, major magazines, and more than 30 cookbooks. After shooting for the New York Times from 1975 to 1990, he went on to establish his own Fifth Avenue studio, where he works with corporate, advertising, and restaurant clients to create photos that can only be described as "exquisite." Lou is the author of DIGITAL FOOD PHOTGRAPHY, the only book on the art of food photography devoted exclusively to digital technology. Craig Clairborne, restaurant critic and food writer for the New York Times, said, "The important thing about being a real photographer is not only having a great lens, but having a feeling of warmth, collaborating, and bringing out the best of a subject. It requires a sense of style and a feeling of creative arrangement--Lou is marvelous at this."

5.0 out of 5 stars Food Photography 101 ..., Dec 20 2006
By B. Senic (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was looking for a while for a good food photography book and I'm so glad I bought this one. I am professional photographer with years of experience in commercial photo arena but I haven't tried shooting food. This was the challenge until I've got my hands on Lou Manna's book. I will rate it 5 out of 5. The topic is covered in full, with emphasis on the most important areas like lighting, food & prop styling and post processing. Lou have absolutely fantastic pictures posted in there, which makes a great example how food should look like, appealing and tasty. As far as I am concern, I will recommend this particular book to anyone who might be interested in food photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good kick-start into food work, Oct 30 2009
While our studio does mostly small product work, food was not usually on the menu.
And a few attempts mostly produced lackluster results.
Lou's book was a great kick-start pointing us in the right direction to get much better results!
Looking forward to his next hopefully more detailed installment.
Thanks for producing this introductory manual!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not even good pictures., Jul 23 2009
By Mikulas Kravjansky "Nicholas" (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Maybe is written by the photographer who is paid for his services, (meaning professional) but the quality of pictures, the direction and information is so simple a basic that any skilled, untrained photographer could put together book like this. In many instances his advice is completely wrong. He has no knowledge on basic rules of composition, placement of focal point, direction and movement of lines, color balance. Even the front cover picture could not pass my first grade photo design class.
