I've joined with several other ladies across the country to improve our food photography skills. Each month, we've challenged ourselves to a different theme. For May, our theme was to recreate a magazine cover.
I didn't think I was going to be able to participate in this one. With everything my family and I have going on these days, something had to give. But at the last minute, Allison Jacobs inspired me and I realized I could get this done.
My inspiration was this July 1981 cover of Bon Appetit magazine. Just simple. Just a bowl of the fruit. Not a lot of fuss about the magazine contents crowding the cover. The cover is about the image.
I decided to use our group name (The Inspired Plate) as my magazine title, and then made up a name for the issue and then a teaser for the contents. All in all, this was actually really fun. I had dreaded it big time for the last several months. As usual, nothing is as bad as I, Anxiety Girl, expect it to be.
Take a few moments to visit the other ladies in the group and how they were inspired to create a magazine cover. Next up is my friend, Stacey Siegal | Bradenton-Sarasota Food Photographer.
I shot these with my
D90 & Nikon 50mm 1.4D
