Round food has a square-photo problem
Series: Camera eats first

INSTAGRAM CAPTION
A useful two-photo rule: one whole meal, one detail you like. No need to negotiate with the shape of the plate for ten minutes. Save for your next pizza photo. #FoodPhotography

TIKTOK TITLE
Round food has a square-photo problem

TIKTOK CAPTION
Round pizza. Rectangle phone. Take one whole shot and one close-up. Negotiations complete. #Pizza

THREADS POST
Round food and rectangular screens have unresolved issues. My entire photography system: one photo of the whole meal, one of the bit I am excited about.

FIRST COMMENT
Are you the whole-pizza photographer or the cheese close-up photographer?

STORY LINE
One whole shot. One detail. Pizza negotiations complete.

Proud original carousel. Photographing a round pizza for a rectangular screen. A negotiation in which everyone loses a little corner.

Proud original carousel. Get the whole pizza. Also get half the table and a chair nobody asked to see.

Proud original carousel. Move closer. The crust on the far side has left the story.

Proud original carousel. Take one whole shot and one detail. The pizza now has a portrait and a close-up. Very professional.
