Food Art

Have I ever mentioned that I have a big obsession with food photography? 

I eat merely to put food out of my mind.

I'm reading this with 30mins until lunchtime and it's making my tummy rummble!

There are so many things I want to eat in this post - particularly the puddings and the burgers and is that avocado - that's one of my favourite food ever.

Have a great few days off.

That is some beautiful food. I'd be ashamed to mess it up, to eat it, but I definitely wouldn't be able to resist anything with avocado.

The presentation of food is such an important part of contributing to how we perceive how it will taste.

I love the styling of these food photographs. One of my weaknesses - food esp desserts.

I'm into food photography also. Take care wherever you'll go and enjoy. :)

HAPPY WEEKEND.
