So my last entry was a little glimpse about the way I've been feeling as a photographer. I really appreciated all the positive comments that you left. It really makes a difference...plus it makes me smile. Which isn't a bad thing. :) I've been toying with the idea of shooting food more and more...and to be completely honest I really love it! If you know me at all, you know that I love me some food. Good, healthy, yummy food! So the transition into food photography isn't that big of a stretch. Plus no one cares if all the pasta isn't looking at the camera. :P Recently I asked a friend and graphic designer to build a custom website for my family's restaurant. Josh Cagwin was all over it and it's coming along well. I'll post the link when he's done. Anyways look for some yummy food goodness to grace my blog in the near future.
This image is one of the first I ever shot in late 2008.
This is one from last month.
And this one I just love!

I also have a really fun personal project I'm working on that isn't photography related. I really can't wait to share that with you. It is something near and dear to my heart and I hope it makes a difference in your lives. :)
Sweet! I think good food photography is really awesome. I love the last shot the best myself. I can't wait to see what you share in the future.
(02.08.10 @ 02:35 PM)Blogging twice in less than a week? Setting some high expectations there, aren't you? I love that last shot...awesome job!!
(02.08.10 @ 02:36 PM)Great job! Especially the last one! There are some great food photography and food styling books out there you should check out for more ideas, too!
(02.08.10 @ 02:37 PM)Thanks Rachael! I've been looking at tons of stuff. It's fun for me. I've been wanting to shoot more of the stuff I cook too. :)
(02.08.10 @ 02:42 PM)Love these Zak. It feels good to find your mojo! I can't wait to see more... these make me hungry!
(02.08.10 @ 03:16 PM)COOL! I mean HOT! Love that last one. You have my curiosity totally piqued on the "fun personal project" thing, and I can't wait to see the direction your photography takes. Actually, the reason I like the last one so much is because it takes "food" photography to another level -- I love photography that shows the human side behind stuff we sometimes take for granted, like the love and care that goes into food prep, from growing to plating to washing the dishes. Anyway, so excited for you to be moving in a direction that makes so much sense considering the all-around ZAK I know and love!
(02.08.10 @ 03:41 PM)Yum!! Ok, now I am STARVING!!! These images are AWESOME, especially the last one! And how great is it that it doesn't matter that your subjects aren't looking at you :) I myself am venturing out to other types of photography-- I just did my first boudoir session and I loved it-- so we shall see!
(02.08.10 @ 03:47 PM)These are great Zak ! It is so wonderful when you find something that love you doing ...I see fantastic things in your future and I can not wait to hear more about your project. BTW, the last one totally rocks and I too love food photography.
(02.08.10 @ 04:38 PM)How exciting!!! I just love these photos *and* you're already an awesome food styling photog to boot!! =)
(02.09.10 @ 01:54 PM)Great shots Zach. I love the last one - straight out of a magazine!
(02.10.10 @ 06:21 PM)Ooooh, these are groooovy! I love, love, love that last shot!! Food photography is so neat, and something I've always wanted to do ... but I haven't really cooked in sooooo long, which is sad, because it's what I went to school for initially. Looks yummmy!
(02.12.10 @ 09:38 PM)The last one is awesome. It's so dynamic and hot. It tells a story.
(02.13.10 @ 11:51 AM)Ooooh.... if you're gonna have yummy images of scrumptious food on your blog all the time I might have to stay away! I don't need the temptation. I did lose a lot of weight once, but then I found it again! It was in the fridge all along! All jokes aside I think your decision is great one Zak. Good luck with your new direction.
