BTS: Man's food photo shoot

I have always wondered how Manuel could take flat-lay pictures and keep the shadows away from the food he's taking photos of. Just look at his food posts on Instagram!


One evening, I had a chance to see how he does this. Of course, it wasn't the first time... I have the first-hand experience of being stopped from digging into my food as soon as it arrived because he had to take a photo of it. But those were the days when flat-lays weren't the Instagram norm. Was Instagram even a social network back then?

Anyway, the photos below shows how much into food photography he really is. We, including the other lab-mates, were eating dinner at Seoul Kitchen. When his dinner came in, he whisked it off to a corner table for its picture. The light has to hit at the right angle; he positioned himself so that the food was at its most photogenic. I think we were halfway through our meal by the time he finished taking photos of his. 



Look at how it turned out! The bibimbap looked pretty appetising.

Man, I am still patiently waiting to see the food post on Instagram and/or a feature on it in your personal blog... preferably with mentions of the people you were with
