Will Work for Food
Wonton Tacos
I went on one of the food photo assignments I created for myself. My first assignment was at a Latin-Asian fusion restaurant. The two dishes I photographed were Won Ton Tacos, and Thai Chicken Empanadas. I walked right in and just acted like I knew what I was doing, and starting photographing.
It was both fun and challenging trying to find the best spot to photograph the food, and arranging the food to get the best shot. I even manipulated little parts of the food to bring out the color. I also paired the Thai Chicken Empanadas with a Cucumber Mojito add some context to the food, and depth to the background.

The photos came out great! The best part was that I got to eat everything for free. I didn’t even ask if I could eat it. The chef just said to go ahead and eat it up. It was so delicious.
As I at my meal, I started thinking about possibly going into food photography full time. It’s an ideal job when I think about it. I get paid to take photos, and I get free meals. I can’t think of a more ideal job.
Today, I’m grateful I got a free dinner.
