Make a Foodie Portrait for BLD-20

April 6th, 2023

It is my honour to host the Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (BLD) Challenge. Thank you to Cristina @cristinaledesma33 for hosting the last challenge.

Food photography relies very much on the positioning and lighting of the components of the composition. Look through a foodie magazine or recipe book's photographs, no part of the images has been left to chance, every sesame seed, crumb and angle has been carefully thought through.

There is no overall theme to this, the 20th, BLD Challenge, but I'd like the images to be as if for publication in a recipe book or foodie magazine in style.
