For some people summer means the beach, barbecue and patios. For me, it means gelato season. I'm lying a a bit because I love all the other things about summertime, but I have fond memories of strolling around the piazzas in Rome eating incredible gelato.
I love shooting something simple and making it come to life with lighting. This beautiful loaf of ciabatta is a thing of beauty on its own, but with a dramatic lighting to bring out its texture and shape it comes to life.
Well we kind of went overboard with this citrus shoot .... but it was so much fun it was hard to stop!

I really enjoyed this shoot, partially because I love ramen so much. It is not something I would normally make myself, since there are so many great ramen restaurants in Toronto that are so inexpensive. As well the broth really needs to cook for two full days!
And then there are the raw instant noodles! Could not resist shooting some of these.
Oh yes, they are good!
Good morning! Eggs are back on the "good for you list" which is a good thing ... because I love them. One of my favourite ways to make them is in a frittata. Simple to make and delicious. All you need is a cast iron pan and a little TLC.
Most of my time is spent doing food shoots, but every now and then it is great to get outdoors and shoot.
Man, what a fun shoot this was. Tons of work but very happy with the result. Aside from my careless mistake of letting the camera boom drop during cleanup (which thankfully only broke two wineglasses and injured me only very slightly!) everything went real smooth. Love working with the rich fall foods and colours.
I love doing fall shoots. There are so many rich colours and textures to work with ... just add light. This was a fun shoot and a tasty drink.

Every year, in the hazy, hot days of August, I start dreaming of fall. Or more precisely, fall produce. One of my favourites is squash. Roasting squash is dead simple: Squash, herbs and spices and olive oil and a little heat. Once roasted, there are so many things you can make with the squash, but one of my favourites is a simple pasta dish. A little rosemary, parmesan cheese, olive oil and salt and pepper and you are ready to go! Delicious! Just waiting for apple season now!
Oysters have always intrigued me. It is one of those foods that I want to like so much, but just can't ... but I keep trying to prepare them different ways. Yes, the purists will tell you the only way to eat them is raw, but there are other ways to shuck an oyster.
Happy to have another Foodie Friday on Stocksy. This dish is a favourite of mine and pretty quick to prepare.
I am a photographer, but also a photo editor at a national newspaper. The Photoblographer recently asked me what NOT to do when pitching a photo editor. Read about it here.
Very nice of the Photoblographer to do a profile on me. Read it here: http://www.thephoblographer.com/2015/10/27/jeff-wasserman-creating-delectable-stock-food-photography/#.Vi9S_a6rTOY
