Studio-Studioan

The topic of Home Food Photography#3, hosted by Dita, is very interesting: ´Studio´. Of course, not a real studio.
I like to use nature light for most of my food pictures. Windows are my favourite places. Fortunately, all of rooms in my house have windows. Sometimes, I have to bring my stuffs in my ´nature studio´. The rest of story, I´m going to write in Bahasa Indonesia :)

Kalau cuaca mendung paling nggak suka motret, rasanya lebih sreg klo pake sinar alami. Kadang-kadang makanan berikut perangkatnya tak gotong-gotong ke halaman, sambil liat sikon, tetangga di sebrang lagi pada duduk-duduk di luar nggak ya....bukan apa-apa sih bisi kabita/kepengen he..he ^_^


I was confused..which one as a star donut or Lily ?

Jendela ruang tamu yang menghadap ke halaman, merupakan tempat favouriteku apalagi kalo Lavendernya sedang berbunga, ini juga motretnya klo lagi pas spring atau summer begini rada aman dari lirikan pejalan kaki yang lewat karena ada pager tanamannya. Naaa...klo lagi musim gugur niy, pagernya semwrawang gitu lho alias keliatan, berhubung pager tanamanku ini bukan jenis yang "immer grĂ¼n"/yg selalu hijau nggak terganggu pergantian musim, klo sudah begini yah cari sasaran studio jendela di ruang atau kamar lainnya deh !.


Paling seneng berkarya diwaktu anak-anak sekolah, karena nggak direcokin sama mereka....mama...dah belon?...udah boleh dimakan nggak?. Lama-lama mereka ngerti, kalo mau nyomot pada nanya dulu "mama..ini dah dipotret blon?"

Kalo mau motret makanan niy, berikut temen-temen pemanisnya, kayak bunga (cukup metik dari yang ada di halaman aja), kadang nyeduh kopi atau teh dulu, melewati proses gotong-gotong beberapa kali, kadang keruang tamu, keruang tidur kamarnya si dedek, kadang sembari ganti-ganti wadahnya sampe dapet yang cocok dan dapet foto yang pas menurut seleraku :)

Jadi, Home food photography ini paling tidak merupakan hasil karya, yang melewati proses masak memasak, tidak cukup hanya sekali jepretan, hasil kreativitas yang memerlukan waktu dan tenaga (wira-wiri turun tangga, keluar masuk ruangan sembari gotong-gotong perabot, makanan, menata ulang dlsb, dst)....soooo...please don´t steal our pictures, ask first!
