FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY
What do you think about the first time you see this food photo? It may look like thin slices of bread cut into squares which are then topped with chocolate.
The name of the food that is the object of my photo this time is "ROTI PRATA". Maybe my photo does not look like "ROTI PRATA" (read in English: PRATA BREAD) in general.
About "ROTI PRATA"
"ROTI PRATA" is a type of flatbread that is cooked very thin, similar to the method of making crepes. "ROTI PRATA" is influenced by Indian culture, but this food that can be used as breakfast or a snack is very easy to find in Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Generally "ROTI PRATA" is formed round. That's why I mentioned at the beginning that my food photo does not look like "ROTI PRATA" because it is square in shape.
I did not make these "ROTI PRATA" myself. I bought these "ROTI PRATA" for my midnight snacks.
Behind The Photos
I bought these "ROTI PRATA" through an online food ordering application for $1 or around 15 K in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).
These "ROTI PRATA" are packaged in paper boxes. To be honest this is beyond my expectations. I was expecting "ROTI PRATA" to be in a more similar form to "ROTI PRATA" in general.
In my opinion, the "ROTI PRATA" that I ordered this time is too thin.
But then I got the idea to take this "ROTI PRATA" because I thought it would be cute when placed on the plate.
For the sauces, I made random shapes using sweetened condensed milk chocolate.
Basic sauces for plating.
Then, for adding details so that the plate doesn't look too empty, I added some popcorn which happens to have the same tone as the main object.
Anyway, to complement the background, I used a bouquet of wildflowers. You can see how I prepared this wildflower bouquet in my previous post:
I hope you like my food photography this time. What do you think about my plating this time? Do you see a good improvement over my previous plating?
Until next!
