Tastier Photos

Everybody loves a good meal, and now-a-days it seems like everybody is posting photos of their food, but when food photography is done right you can seemingly taste it. That’s where Freddy Clark comes in. Freddy is a New Jersey based beverage and food photographer, and his images make me want to eat them. Getting to know Freddy has been somewhat of a flashback for me. I have been in radio for about 40 years, and I still am. When Freddy was fresh out of college he took that same path, as both an on-air personality and production director. After a decade of radio Freddy made a change, he went into tech, which is weird because I am an I.T. consultant “for a living”. The parallels between Freddy and myself keep going. His move to photography getting into his blood came with the birth of his daughter, while mine was when I started photographing my son when he was in high school. Once into photography Freddy tried out various genres including portraiture, landscapes, street photography, and he even shot weddings for a few years. When he was asked to photograph food for a local restaurant he was hooked. Beverages was a logical addition to the skill set because he was into craft beer. Through Santé Beverage & Food Photography Freddy is now living his passion. He has also moved into the education space, doing his own workshops as well as teaching for Canon and Visions Workshops. Join food and beverage photographer Freddy Clark and me as we take a deep dive into his photo of an Apple Tarte Tartin, and discuss how to make tastier photos, on this edition of Behind the Shot.
