I feel the end approaching. Quick, bring me my dessert, coffee and liqueur.

Tip: When shooting food, there's no doubt many things will be less appealing to our brains (and bellies) without their signature colors. Which is why virtually all photos of plated food on menus and on menu boards are shot in color. But that doesn't mean you always have to shoot color when capturing edible subjects. Think more stylized type shooting...like for prints hanging in a restaurant...or artful presentations in a cookbookthose types of photos are often far more artistic and as such, don't require color to still be hugely appetizing. In fact, monochrome works beautifully in bringing out the textures of food and conveying a classic, timeless feel to any dish. So you might find a 50's-style diner seeking a retro vibe or a restaurant chain looking to convey an old world ambiance...these are perfect for vintage-inspired B&Ws or sepia-toned shots.
