If you can eat it when you’re done, take pictures of food all day
Recently, I got the opportunity to take pictures of food for The Lift Restaurant in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Every dish was as equally delicious as it was beautiful!
The Lift has a beautiful rooftop overlooking the ski slopes. It was a beautiful spring day and I used the natural light to take these shots.
I was trying out a 50mm lens so these were taken mostly at an f stop of 2.8. The one of the chicken wings was taken at a 4.0 f stop.
In post I used the smart sharpening feature in Photoshop to sharpen the areas that are in focus. I also fixed the white balance. However, for the most part, this food already looked amazing so my job was pretty easy.
Chicken Wings
Stuffed Idaho Baker
Lulu Salad
Burger (I can’t remember which one!)
Now if you’ll excuse me while I go eat something because even just writing about the food is making me hungry! Check out this shot and these shots. They will make your mouth water.
Loren, I love your food product photos! I really like the high contrast you have between the highlights on the plates and the moodier light of the food. Your editing is spot on! Also, totally agree. I’ve seriously made myself so hungry editing all of my food photos!

Nice work! I definitely need to go eat another meal now. I like the close up that you got of the burger and that you can see all the detail on the bacon.
