Smitten Kitchen: Beautiful, Simple Food Photography

Not only does Deb of Smitten Kitchen fill the pages of her blog with wonderful culinary creations but, with every photograph, she seduces with delectable images of pies, barbecue tongs and green beans. Even if you're not a whiz in the kitchen, you must admire her (and her husband's) skill behind the lens. She has even been so kind as to provide information about some of the techniques she uses to photograph and style food.

I think its important that all designers have moderate skill with a camera for comps, research and the skills developed by learning to see light. This is as good a place as any to get started, just don't get too hungry looking at all that delicious food!
