"Taking photos, whether it be landscape, portraits or food, is about creating a scene. A story. Almost imagining the scene that the photo was taken in. Brown is a pretty dull colour so I added some colour with pops of red and created some texture with peanuts and twine. Rustic ๐. Do you create stories with your photos? Do you find the scene takes longer than the actual food? ๐"
