hmm, I dont think food photography is a good choice for me. Realised tonight between my eating, and my giving to everyone else I have wiped out over half the easter eggs before I finished with the photos! LOL going to have to buy some more tommorrow, oops

I have that problem with money. I tend to spend my props before I get a chance to shoot them.

That's why there's no pictures of alcohol in my portfolio, only empty glasses.

I also have this problem whit food photography. I don't want to start making some in afternoon just to shoot it. Then I will waste the food, because I don't want to invent an afternoon meal...not healthy

Shoot at night then.

Use a flash to recreate natural light.

I can't wait for spring so I can go outside and shoot. I've been shooting food in studio all winter and I think I've gained 20 lbs....not from shooting it of course, but I was taught not to be wasteful...have to eat what I cook!

I've had the same issue - only it's the rest of the house eating my "props"!

I've had good luck with calling up some friends before an afternoon shoot and inviting them over for some prop-leftover parties. They love free food. I love not wasting all the leftovers. Keeps me on schedule too - I know I've got hungry mouths to feed.
