Description

The aroma of freshly baked breadThe taste of that mango pickleThe smell of coffeeThe sizzle of that barbequeFood either makes us happy, makes us hungry, takes us back to our grandma’s kitchen, has a cultural meaning or instills some or the other feelings in us.Food evokes emotions in us. And as photographers, food is our subject.So, imagine how incomplete a food photo would be if it did not evoke emotion.Food is connected to our physical and emotional health. Food brings pleasure. Food builds communities. It bonds children with parents. It has so many feelings attached to it.And yet, as food photographers we get so caught up in compositions and props that we forget to convey those feelings in our photos.In this week’s episode, Suze Morrison, award winning photographer and professional chef, tells us the power of evoking emotion through food photography. Suze has a signature style but each one of her works transports the viewer either into her world or a world of their own - the ultimate goal of a food photo. The sign of a successful photo.Suze shares why food photography is incomplete without the element of emotion, she explains how to bring emotion to storytelling and ways to find inspiration to take your photography to the next level. She shares how she broke away from a certain style of photography and how it helped her unlock her best work. If your photography is missing something, it might be this. Yes, we need strong technique, but oftentimes the idea of bringing emotion to our photos doesn’t strike us. It is ignored, underrated or not thought about at all. As food photographers, we want to create photos that not only look beautiful but instill emotions in the viewer and even warrant an action from them, like making a recipe or getting inspired by a photo or calling their mom to tell her how they miss her cooking. Powerful emotion in food photography is what makes one photo more successful than the other, it is more than meets the eye because emotions are all about feelings. Suze tells us all about it.Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/ Show notes available at  https://myfoodlens.com/60-how-to-create-powerful-food-photos-by-evoking-emotion-with-suze-morrisonDownload free guide and workbook The 10-step photoshoot https://myfoodlens.com/the-10-step-photoshoot-guide/Write that pitch https://myfoodlens.ck.page/writethatpitch
