FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY AND STYLING!


I get inspiration of food, from anywhere n everywhere I can. So I thought of writing about food photography and styling in this post cz its relevant to food... And everybody should know the minute details regarding food. The food presented in commercials , magazines,pamplets,cookbooks and menus aren't just a picture of food clicked by a mundane camera ....
There is much more going on , behind the actual picture. Food photographers, stylists,art directors,prop stylists and assistants work hard to make the photograph of dishes presentable , working day and night to create impressive, attention grabbing pictures to attract the readers..... ! And its not an easy job.

The process of food photography begins with the purchase of the food and ingredients. Only the most visually perfect foodstuffs are acceptable and multiple backup or test items are usually needed.
The best-looking of the purchased items is selected and marked as the "hero" i.e., the item that will be featured in the photograph. Food isn't just a simple context in the 21st century , in comprises of thousands of things around it, and the people who work their ass off, just to present a never seen picture of FOOD....!!!
"FOOD IS SENSATION".

CHICK CHICK CHICKEN CUTLETS

Image
Sometimes, I get totally bored by eating chicken thighs, breasts and fillets...... So I tried something ingenious with chicken, I got chicken mince instead of the pieces. Threw some ingredients to it and that tasted like chicken heaven. I had these cutlets with bun, like an Indian burger. Everybody in my house loves it, we have this normally on Sunday mornings.............as its a lethargic rest day for us, so the dish should be heavy and comforting as well. My mother guided me during this experiment, otherwise, I would have made a blunder...!! Because of the supervision, this dish came out perfectly........... with no cutlets left in the plate. Here's the recipe- MIXTURE- half kg chicken minced one onion green chilly 2 chopped coriander a handful chopped finely salt red chilly powder turmeric eggs 2 gram flour(if the mixture doesn't hold in) oil PROCEDURE- heat some oil in a big flat pan mix all the ingredients as mentioned above and make small pat...

TRAVEL TO SOUTH- DOSA, a mid night present.

Image
I live in Maharashtra, nagpur so I can't get authentic dosa's here....:/ boo hoo!! I had authentic dosa's in hyderabad, chennai but its been quite a while. The dosa served there is contrary to what its served here..... :|..... In south viz; andra pradesh, tamil nadu, kerala, Kannada.... The dosa's may vary from state to state, but the flavour what you get there , I never found that here, or in any other place except south. I love south Indian food and culture a lot,I feel a connection cz my mother is telugu...... :-* According to my perception, south indians are conservative, well cultured, educated and dedicated , humble people....... :) Oh I ward off from the main topic here, "dosa". My mother always keeps the batter ready in the fridge for me, as I am quite fussy..!(maybe that's why I am getting fat XD..) Jokes apart, I let the batter stay in the fridge for 4-5 days for fermentation till it gets a hint of sourness to it, I kn...
