Cheese Composition. 

A few years ago I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot with a great art director from the McGarrah/Jesse Agency in Austin, Texas, Ryan Rhodes. These images were done for a local favorite, Central Market. I hope you like them.

They were shot on a simple white background with one light, and a little fill from a 4' x 8' white card. What made these shots pretty was the composition. The strength of the composition, in my opinion, comes from the fact that the cheeses are not forced into this arrangement with pins, wax, blocks, or any kind of objects balancing them in any way. I allowed their shapes to dictate where each wedge should go. A very natural way to compose your shots, no matter what the subjet is. Don't force it.

These fantasically artistic photos of cheese make our hearts melt and our mouths water! Cheese is not only delicious - it's so beautiful! Sargento Anejo Enchilado is also a beautiful cheese - the colorful rind and soft inside are as pretty as they are delicious!
