Roasted Rosemary Fingerling Potatoes

by // // Comments off

HorrorFFF Friday Food FightAt the Food and Wine Conference, I learned about food styling.  During the session, I learned the importance of props, simple every day objects that don’t cost a fortune but can add a whole lot of richness to food photos.  Props should also tell a story.

I also learned about the color wheel and how using opposite colors on the color wheel can help make food photos pop and come alive.  This post by Drizzle & Dip explains it beautifully.

As I sat through that session feverishly taking notes and scheming ways to make my food photos better, I was selected as a winner for the Idaho Potato contest.  As a prize, I won 30 pounds of potatoes and 10 pounds of Fingerling potatoes.

This week as we finally finished the last of the Fingerling potatoes, I decided to put my food styling knowledge to work with this Roasted Rosemary Fingerling Potatoes.  I still have a lot to learn or maybe I need better props, but I definitely told a story – a well-seasoned seasonal meat and potato story told by someone who hates to iron.

    Taking food pictures is both my favorite and least favorite part of blogging. I get so excited about it, and then it never looks how I imagine it. My husband keeps asking if I’ve read the camera manual! Ha!

    Congratulations for winning the potato contest. You did a fantastic job with the potatoes. The rosemary brings a nice color to the potatoes.

    I rely on my husband for my photos and we work together on styling. There is so much to learn and I never tire of inspiration from others.
