The Art of Food Photography: A Croissant Milestone

The Art of Food Photography: A Croissant Milestone

This week, I’m thrilled to celebrate another of my images reaching over 1,000 sales. My croissant photo, has joined the ranks of my most successful work. As a Lethbridge food photographer, milestones like these remind me of the power of visual storytelling and the impact great photography can have on businesses.

The Croissant That Stole the Show

This croissant image is particularly special to me because it showcases everything I love about food photography. The buttery layers, the golden-brown crust, the delicate texture—it’s all there, inviting viewers to take a bite with their eyes first. It’s no wonder this photo has become so popular among bakeries and food brands looking for high-quality visuals to represent their products.

Every time one of my images reaches 1,000 sales, it feels like a reminder of why I started this journey in the first place: to capture beauty and share it with the world.

 Reflecting on My Journey

Over the past 40 years as a commercial photographer in Lethbridge, I’ve had the opportunity to work on countless projects—from industrial photography to intricate food compositions. But food photography holds a special place in my heart because it combines artistry with storytelling. Each dish tells its own story, and my job is to bring that story to life through my lens.

Milestones like this one remind me how far I’ve come and how much I’ve grown as an artist. From that first grilled cheese sandwich photo to this croissant image and beyond, every success motivates me to keep pushing boundaries and creating visuals that inspire and connect with people.

 Looking Ahead

While I’m celebrating this milestone, I’m also looking forward to what’s next. Whether it’s capturing another iconic dish or helping more businesses elevate their branding through professional photography, I’m excited for the opportunities ahead.

Is this a Downy or Hairy Woodpecker?

The two birds are very different in size, with the Hairy being about the size of a Robin while the Downy is only the size of a sparrow. But the coloring is almost the same, so you can usually tell them apart by the length of the beak. In the Hairy the beak is longer than the head, while in the Downy it is shorter than the head. So that would suggest that this is a Downy however, a Downy also has white spots on the tail feathers that are not present here, suggesting it’s a Hairy.
