Butternut Squash Soup | Learning how to set up your still life photography shoot

A common subject for still life photography is food. For some, it might be subject matter for a cookbook or a menu. For others, it might be photographing food as art. Learning how to set up a still life shoot takes some practice. But, the wonderful thing about photographing food is that there is such a variety of subject matter available to us. In this post, I've used Butternut Squash Soup as my subject. Soup is the perfect food for this time of year here in northern California. And, the perfect photography subject.
