Plate to Pixel

Image taken by Myself

A couple of days ago I received a very exciting package in the mail....

....a shipment from Amazon.com with Helene's new food photography book inside - "Plate to Pixel!" I've been reading it almost non stop since!

Throughout her book, it's easy to tell that she has a passion for food photography and knows what she's talking about. She has many of her own delicious looking photography in the book, which is indeed, one of my favorite parts, taking inspiration from her photos makes me want to go bake something!

What I love about Plate to Pixel is that she doesn't skip over or assume anything. She thoroughly explains all of the tricky things that most people just "assume" that you already know. From food styling, to lighting, to great DIY tricks! Helene really explains things in an understandable way.

I actually taught a class on Food photography at FACSY to youth in grades 4th through 8th. We took pictures of radishes, I just wished I had this book before the class!

I was not compensated in any way or form for this post - I simply loved this book and wanted to share it with my lovely readers! I do receive a very small commission if a book is purchased using one of the links in this post.

I love hot chocolate, and while it's warming up a little bit outside, it's still delicious to have a cup of it while watching a good movie. I've been waiting to see "Life as we Knew It." Have you seen it? Was it good?

I think it would be especially delicious to indulge in one of these sweet personalized hot chocolate silverplate spoons from Ticket Kitchen. How clever that the message is revealed as your stirring your hot chocolate in! Wouldn't they make a great gift?
