I've wanted to try food photography for a long time. A few days ago I finally got around to doing it.


I baked some blueberry muffins, made some coffee, found some props in the cupboard, and set up the shot on a board which I placed on the floor.

Our cat Jenny kept coming over and trying to drink the coffee. I had to keep pushing her away. Do most cats like coffee?


The photos were worth the fight. I'm very proud of them. I don't know why it took me so long to get around to trying food photography. It was a lot of fun to plan and shoot.
