📸 PHOTO TIP OF THE DAY 💬 👉🏾 Use WHOLE spices! 👈🏾 The whole point of food 🍴 photography 📸 is to add more visual 👀 interest to the photo, which is why I love using whole spices 🌱. I have star anise, cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, and many more. Even better, whole spices have a long shelf-life, so you can use them over and over ♻️ again! • • • • • #thequiingredient #compositephotography #foodtographyschool #foodphotographer #foodphotos #cinemagraph #foodphotoshoot #learnfoodphotography #iphonephotography #patterndesign #foodphotographyandstyling #editingphotos #foodphotographytips #iphonephotoshoot #iphonecamera #learnfoodphotography #foodpics #foodphotographytips #foodphotographyprops #foodphotography #bhgfood #foodstagram #foodblogger #buzzfeast #feedfeed #browngirlblogger #blackfoodie #essenceeats #huffposttaste #foodstylist #blackfoodbloggers ![After 16 + years of working as a commercial and wedding 👰🏾👰🏼 👰🏽photographer, I have lots of experience working with clients, pricing projects, and understanding my value.

Ginger Carrot Soup is a mainstay in my kitchen. This soup is filled with fresh 🌱 ingredients and is quick and easy to make 🙌🏾. As a stand-alone, it’s a great soup, but the addition of Garlic Croutons finished with @labaleineusa Le Saunier de Camargue Fleur de Sel 🍞 makes it FANTASTIC ✨. Blended soups are wonderful, but they are better with some pops 💥 of texture and flavor.

Shutter speed is the length of time ⏳ that the shutter is open. How fast or slow your shutter opens and closes determines if you get blur effects or if you actually stop 🛑 motion.
TRY IT:
When you go into your shoot using manual mode, think about what you want to capture. If you are trying to freeze 🥶 the action, you need a faster 🐇 shutter speed.
If you want to show some blur, you need a slower 🐢 shutter speed. As you experiment, make sure to play around with different camera settings to stop 🛑 motion while achieving a properly exposed image.
PRO TIP:
You may need to open your aperture a little bit 👈🏾 wider 👉🏾to compensate for fast shutter speed. It’s all about balance here.
Check out my website [linkinbio] for a full tutorial on Manual Mode!

But a little chocolate 🍫 now and then doesn't hurt.”
― Charles M. Schulz
💝 Happy Valentine's Day 💝, everyone! Today we celebrate love in all its forms, most especially with Chocolate Truffles 🍫!
My ‘Date Night’ Boozy Brownie Truffles infused with Bailey’s Irish Cream and Disaronno soaked cherries 🍒 is based on an ice cream I make for the hubs and me, but I transformed this idea into a decadent truffle. These are a treat any time of year when you want to spice things up, and regular truffles just won't do❤️

I hope you're spending the day with the people (and food!) you love 🥰.
