Cooking photos

I don’t know about you, but I consider studio photo as one of the most complicated photography techniques (possibly with underwater photos while diving). But in the middle of this general context, photographing dishes to illustrate a book seems to be one of the most difficult specialties.

I will not detail the technique, but I want to invite you to visit a web site which totally mastered it: Habeas Brulée. They publish quite tasteful recipes, of course, but the work they put in the pictures is impressive and classify them as real pros.
