What I Learned From Carrie

Recently, Carrie Minns, foodie for Portland's magazine 1859 came into our photography class to teach us about food photography. Carrie taught me something I have always wondered about: how to make the background of a food photo better than just the countertop. She said she tends to take arial photos, but when she doesn't, she lets a piece of fabric or other material billow up behind it.
