Leading Lines in Food – Apr 17

The first thing I thought about when I heard this prompt was spaghetti. However, my brother’s birthday was around this time, so when we were celebrating with a cake, I realized that the layers of the cake exhibited Leading Line as well. I think food photography is interesting because of all the variations of elements of art and principles of design that can be used. Texture is a very common principle that isn’t usually paid much attention to in other forms of photography, but in food, it is far more prominent – especially in close up photography. Food itself is such a unique art form, too, that food photography often can’t eclipse the entire masterpiece that is the dish.
