what is this? « a whisk and a spoon

what is this?

I’m Stephanie, and as you can see, I actually have many whisks and spoons. They reside in a tin on my kitchen counter in New York City.

I love your blog and your pictures are amazing. I love photographing my food but yours honestly looks right out of Everyday Food. I’m jealous ha ha! I would love to know what you shoot with and your thoughts on food photogrpahy in general.

Danielle–Thanks for the comment! I think I’m such an amateur with the camera (I could point out a few really talented bloggers)! I just use a point-and-shoot digital…a Nikon Coolpix S6. I take my food photos with no flash (just good sunlight, ideally) and using the close-up function. I’d love a full-on camera with lenses, etc, and maybe take a few classes to figure out how to use them!

When I first started this blog, I was very self-conscious of my pictures, but now photographing my food is something that I really love doing (even if hubby thinks I’m nuts). I think food can be so stunning, and I love choosing angles and backgounds, props, etc.

Stephanie..do you use a macro lens? My husband and I are looking into the Nikon D80 kit and weren’t sure if the macro lens was necessary to get those clear and crisp close-ups that you get!

Just want to say I like your style! Great photos. too I made cupcakes just like yours a few weeks back and was so excited to see you do the same thing. I also dedicated them to my memories of east coast summer soft serve. We called it the “swirl “cone in New England.

Hi Stephanie!

I’m so jealous you’re living in Australia. I studied abroad there for a semester and absolutely loved it. I’m actually planning on going to graduate school in either Australia or New Zealand. Seems like everyone else has said it, but I love your pictures! They all make my mouth water:)

  - Oh…is there any chance to come back to Australia? I was under impression that I have one good blogger friend there in Sydney.

Wow. I am blown away by your blog and your pictures. I really have never seen such consistently made, beautiful, perfect, sexy desserts. Do you ever mess up?!?! What kind of camera do you use? xoxo

- Thanks, Anita! I use a Nikon Coolpix. It’s just a point-and-shoot, and it’s a few years old now, so I hope to upgrade someday soon!

Hi Steph!
I found your blog through a google search for “Beet Recipes” and I totally love it. I’m currently focusing recipes involving Beets over at my blog – do you mind if I link to you when I post this Sunday?
I’d also want to link to your blog permanently on my blog roll if that’s okay.

P.S. I use a Coolpix too. )

xo,
Sarahfae
