Hannah Kaminsky
Hannah Kaminsky is a vegan chef genius, having already published a dessert cookbook and several ebooks while maintaining a popular vegan blog, Bittersweetblog.
Kaminsky is still in college, and plans to continue her career as a chef and recipe developer, which includes taking her own pictures for her books and blog.
Kaminsky has an interview with Vegetarian Times where she gives some advice for fellow food photographers on how to best capture the essence of the egg substitute.
1. Keep it clean. A few errant crumbs can be nice, since you don’t want the scene unrealistically immaculate, but you don’t want splatters and splashes all over the place. Wipe the rim of plates and bowls with a towel, and make sure silverware glistens. And don’t clutter up the set with tons of odds and ends.
2. When framing your shot, do get close to your food, but not so close that you fall in. In other words, snap the photo close to your food, but not so close that you can’t tell what you’re looking at. I’d rather be able to identify a dish as corn chowder than puzzle over a single giant corn kernel floating in a sea of broth.
These aren’t hard fast rules, as Hannah says she’ll follow the guidelines 90% of the time.
