Cauliflower puree with bacon crumble | insimoneskitchen.com

Do you know how many people tell me that they cannot take good photos because they don’t have the space, don’t have the props or don’t have the expensive camera I have… It’s a surprising number I can tell you, so obviously in my current situation I am kind of proving them all wrong. Well ok I still do have that expensive camera but trust me if I tell you that I know photographers far better than myself that certainly own a far cheaper camera, so that is no excuse either.. πŸ™‚

This picture, I can tell you, was taken from my bed. It was shortly after I had come out of the hospital and wheelchairs where still far from my future at that point and I could either shoot from the bed or in the bed. I had done – at that point in time – my first commercial shoot from the bed. (move the bed away from the window, position a table in between the bed and the window, position tripod and shoot…)

But this dish is – let’s face it – simplicity itself and I did not feel like moving half the furniture (or in fact have someone else move half the furniture) to get a shot of a mash. No matter how good it tastes.

 

See me sitting in the bed?

See me sitting in the bed?

My little rolling bedside table has one of those plastic coverings that has a bit of a marbled effect and doesn’t look al that bad, so I cleared out that tiny table and that is how I took the shot. No, it would not be my preferred method but it’s not too bad a picture either, so you see, you do not need a lot of space, a lot of props or a lot of backgrounds to take a foodphoto.. πŸ™‚
