If you’re wondering why the heck I have a vector instead of a photo as my main image today, read on! . . . 💫 I’m putting the final touches on my eBook Rule-of-Thirds: A Guide to Composition for Food Photography. Three years ago I had an inspiration to bring out a product that would help food bloggers and photographers figure out how to place their subjects within the frame in a way that followed the principles of composition. I visualized sharing the sketches I make when I map out my shoots, but didn’t know how to go about it. . . 💫 Portrait photographers have posing manuals. Why can’t food photographers have a posing manual of sorts? This is EXACTLY what my eBook is all about. In addition to an overview of the principles of composition and some case studies from my professional work, the guide features 42 templates that you can use as prompts for your own creativity. . . Along with suggestions for food, backgrounds, and props, (including how to place them), these templates will instantly help you take your photography to the next level. It’s a perfect resource if you’re a beginner, but also if you tend to get stuck in a rut, repeating the same old compositions over and over again. I know I do. . . 💫 When I first pitched my idea to my designers @22creativestudio they asked, why not just use photographs? I explained that when presented with a photo, the mind is busy processing the lighting, colour, texture, and all the other details. It’s much quicker to grasp shape when it’s isolated. These templates are simple and graphic and allow you to create compositions that work within the positive-negative space dynamic, while allowing for your own creativity to blossom. . . So what do you think? Is that a tool that can help you with your food photography? . . #ruleofthirdsbook #gastrostoria #foodphotographyandstyling #composition #stilllifephotography #stilllife #photographyebook #learnfoodphotography #lifeandthyme #photoshelter #elinchrom #makeitdelicious #foodfluffer #fbcigers #stilllifephotographer #visualstorytelling #photographymentoring #photographyeducation #photomentor #lifeandthyme #lovestilllife #f52grams #foostyle https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGJtHFBCPm/?igshid=1xhck97mxa7rc
