Creatıng Winter Wonderland
In Food Photography

As a food photographer I definitely have some favourite subjects. People who know me, know that I enjoy buying citrus fruits and always ask for those with leaves, which is sometimes funny to the people selling them, but it doesn’t matter. And also, I love bundt cakes because of different bundt pans that I use to get different shapes. I have been collecting them for years now, so I have quite a collection.

When these two combine, especially in winter time, as this is the citrus fruit season, this enables me to make lovely winter scenes with my camera. These two subjects enable me to express my creativity on a level I actually never thought I had.

In this particular photograph I shot my favourite orange and cottage cheese bundt cake on a green surface. I wanted to achieve a good contrast between the snow falling on a green forest (in this case dusting sugar on the bundt forest) as snow is actually something we all look forward to in winter. And composition-wise I used the fruit to play the supporting role in the photograph and make my subject more prominent.

Canon EOS R camera and Canon EF 100 mm macro IS USM lens. For lighting, I used my Godox 120 cm octabox with V860 ii flash light.
