I've found it easiest to photograph plated food on the deck railing outside. Today it was chilly out there and the breeze kept blowing the napkin unto the plate but I did want to photograph the food before consuming it. Here it is, more of the finely-julienne French fries on a slice of hothouse tomato with a single-slice sandwich of curried chicken salad.
It is only after I've shot the food that I remember how I wanted to plate it like present-day chefs do, mounded together to form a three-dimensional images. On today's episode of Perfect Day TV with host, Tina Nordström, she piled an argula salad on top of smoked monkfish on top of an anchovy-creme-fraiche-dressed potato salad. Neat. Does the current obsession with 3-D in cuisines, photography and Hollywood movies an expression of the ADHD mentality of our population, especially the teenagers and twenty-somethings? Images have to pop to earn attention.
