All of us at aberdeenphoto.com are “foodies” and love photographing food. Lighting is the most important element but certain dishes have a strong graphic identity and will look striking when photographed from directly above, while other subjects often need to be shot from a lower angle. For a long time, food photographs tended to be shot and composed in a manner similar to the way people were used to encountering their food: laid out on a table setting and shot from an overhead perspective, i.e., from the point of view of the eater. Now romantic lighting, and shallower angles are the prevailing trend. We prefer to present the food as simple, clean, and naturally as possible, and with little props, often using effects such as selective focus, tilted plates, and close-ups. This complements trends in professional cooking to make the food more visually interesting.
We have been learning more about food photography which requires a special set of skills, much like being a master chef. Knowledge of preparation & food styling techniques, working closely with the chef to plate the food for photographing, and utilising the correct lighting & photography techniques are all essential ingredients when preparing a food photograph. Then a few finishing touches will cook up an image that looks good enough to eat.

aberdeenphoto.com principal Neil Gordon LSWPP has provided exceptional quality professional photography for over 40 years.
Over that period, we have moved from film and darkrooms to state of the art digital cameras and advanced Photoshop skills but providing quality images and great customer service has been consistent.
