Avocado, is there anything you can’t do? Tasty when eaten with a spoon, tasty when mushed up and eaten as guacamole, tasty when stuffed into the center of sushi.
This humble little fruit, which also goes by the name alligator pear, is so versatile and fun! But for food photography? The avocado is not always the belle of the ball. Dark green in color, oblong, lightly textured. Those words simply do not pop with fun.
This photo needs help!
Jump in on the latest food photography trend! Put a bunch of other things into the picture to highlight and complement all that is the avocado. Beans are popular; make sure you artistically strew a few outside your tiny bowl. Include your drinking glass in the back. An end of garlic completes the photo. It doesn’t quite fit in and leaves the viewer wondering what exactly will be happening. They’re hooked and will keep coming back to your blog for more!
Ha! I definitely need to know what will happen next with that garlic end. I’ll be back.
Funny!
I love “jump on the bandwagon” and put in lots of other stuff. I just can’t be bothered. I gotta eat the damned avocado!
Oh panda, you forgot a brightly colored folded dish towel… Though you are right, I am hooked and can’t wait to see what you have in store for that garlic end! You crack me up.
Hahah. When other things are in my food photos, it’s usually by accident…. and something like a jar of peanut butter or a half-eaten pack of biscuits.
My drinking glass always makes it in somehow.
Haha, I love this. The scattered lentils and garlic really tell us a story.
LOL, this made me laugh. I have noticed so many scattered ingredients in photos over the last few months.
LOL
Haha, love this post. Photography is definitely not my strong point and I’m trying to think more about composition. Just realised I’ve posted a picture today of some cookies where oven gloves and a purple fluffy pen have snuck into the frame! Don’t remember them even being there.
My composition is always a wee bit off, so I try to just go with it.
Just might try that out1I have an avocado I have been intending to use and just have’t got to it…
lol
Hahaha, this was great; I love your all “awkward food photos” posts! 😀
