Working with Plate for Food Styling

There are many approaches in the art of food presentation particularly in food plating for food styling. There are classical, traditional, modern or even contemporary approaches. Food presentation or plating a food goes beyond the typical way of arranging of cooked product on a plate, but, in fact one could argue that presentation is an identity or a particular chef's style. It represent how the chef was trained and  / or where he / she practices the style.
In this art of styling, food presentation is illustrated in the 'plating of food' and captured as a photograph through the lens of a camera. Most of the photograph presented here in this blog is intended as an introduction to food styling. And with the creative arts of any kind, evolution is something that can be avoided, it is  desirable....... so, Explore.

Previous activities

It have been a long time since last I updated this blog. Too busy? Or, just plain lazy to write. So, here I am trying to update my blog. Probably for a start let me post you some of my class picture.

Basic Food Pothography and Food Styling Workshop

Alhamdulillah, mission accomplished. It totally a great pleasure conducting this workshop for Food Enthusiast. I should thanks Faridatul Azna of The Dessert Table, Mutiara Damansara for giving me the opportunity to share some little knowledge that I have. Really enjoyed the session with all the 'good and well behave students" - what a lovely bunch of peoples you are............So remember the steps.......let the 'P' guide you through and 'Cut n Paste' to 'M'. Then 'Plus 2' and 'Minus 2' and with that you will never fail in your journey to a better food photography, Insyaallah.
