RWOP...yes. Practicing my food stylin'. Will show u what I came up with today titled...Livin' life on the edge -
This is still one of my favorite videos and I refer to it often! I'm still no expert, but I sure do love all of the great tips you share, Libbie!!!
I'm so looking forward to seeing all these mouthwatering recipes and can't wait to get into the kitchen myself! -

Thank you Libbie. I love those tips. I still have lots to learn. Sometimes the most obvious like getting a tripod don't cross ones mind until another person points it out. -
This video was fantastic Libbie. Thank you so much for sharing such great ideas in a straightforward and seamless manner! I just learned a bunch and I know it will take my pics to the next level. I love love love the garnish high tip and never thought of it that way! Good luck to everyone. I will be cooking but from the sidelines this time and thats so tough but I'm gonna take some photos!! -
This was a fun video to make and has lots of fun info for making your pictures even better. I am really impressed with how much the entire community has improved with their photo taking!! Maybe it was the "Garnish High" tip! So proud of all of you!!
PS Have fun with all the "effects" you can do with your photos now too on your smartphones or in iphoto. I work with one big hairy deal photographer in NY and on his website he actually has a gallery of all his iphone shots! Just goes to show you don't always need the most expensive set up...usually, it's just a delicious dish and good light! Snap on ladies! -

One of the greatest things about this site is we all continue to learn and grow together. Great tips Libbie, thanks for sharing! -
I loved the tips, Libbie! I have not expanded to using fabric to spruce up my food photos. I am so exited to give the tips a try. I only use a little Sony point and shoot but I'm going to attempt to improve my food photos. Thanks Libbie, and thanks RWOP for always training us! I still remember the tips we were given in making a cooking video even though they were given in Season one! -
Thanks for the tips. my photography skills leave a lot to be desired. I am working on them. Cant wait to get started on the newest contest. -

Great tips, Libby...my camera clicker is hot w/snapping so many shots...but there's always just the right one somewhere in the cache of them! Need to get some white fabric for diffusing! Ally :)

Fabulous tips Libbie, I remember you sharing these types of tips in the past and I have applied them and WOW the pictures look like they are out of a magazine or they make you want to just reach at them! I love it , thanks again!!:) -
Libbie, I am so grateful for your help and tips. You have such a way with things. I'm so excited to begin.
Thank you so much! -
What a great tutorial Libby! I'm always looking for ideas for food photography and styling so just hearing your review helps me rethink my shots!
I really miss my old kitchen with all the big windows and tons of natural lighting. I'm trying out a lot of new options in order to get a great shot in my new place. Thanks for sharing your expertise!! -

Thanks so much for the refresher Libbie - you give simple and such helpful tips! I love photographing my food almost as much as creating it, and I have you to thank for that! -
