Unlike other photographers we have discussed, Quentin Bacon is most known for the Photographs taken of food. His photographs allure the audience with the natural lighting and equisite detail set from the cheese in this dish. What sets this photograph well is the attention to detail, notice how the image of the food is sharp and the background is blurred out yet we are able to make do that it is some type of restaurant, wood chairs polished, it also sets a lovely ambiance to fill with the fine dinner show to us in the image. It’s also clever in that Bacon tried to keep a constant color scheme here with white brown and white and the color consistency also makes the photo all the more appeasing. Notice that the light is equally distributed there is a soft light, its not hard on the food and it doesn’t give it an over saturated look.
Shallow depth of field is used beautifully here. It is an essential tool of food photography.
