My Get Pushed partner this week @homeschoolmom challenged me to try a food shot like you would see in a magazine. I did two shots today. One from above, and one more from the side.
I think the hardest part about this challenge is the lighting. I find it really hard to avoid shadows. I had my indoor light above, and some natural light from the side. At least this time you can't see my shadow like you could in my cookie shot from earlier: https://365project.org/stephomy/365/2019-01-05
For your get-pushed challenge, I am going to challenge you to put yourself in the photo. This isn't a portrait or a selfie. You should be doing something in the photo that contributes to the story.
