Food Photography
One of my passions—besides type design—is food photography. It's especially fun when I can use one of my food photos along with one of my typefaces to create a font poster. You can see some of my attempts below. Most of these are informal photos taken at various local restaurants and coffee houses, with very little editing. So, they are not as styled or as carefully composed as they might otherwise be. But, hopefully your mouth will water a bit, if not for the food, perhaps for the font! Click on any font poster (or the Gallery link) for a larger view and for more information about that font. All photos by Jason Castle unless otherwise noted.
Unu el miaj pasioj—krom desegni tiparojn—estas foti manĝaĵon. Feliĉigas min kiam mi povas uzi unu el miaj manĝfotoj kune kun unu el miaj tiparoj por krei afiŝon, iuj kiujn vi povas vidi sube. Plej multaj el tiuj estas neformalaj fotoj prenitaj ĉe diversaj lokaj restoracioj kaj kafejoj, kun tre malmulte da redaktado. Do, ili ne estas tiel stilitaj aŭ tiel zorge kunmetitaj kiel povus esti. Sed, espereble via buŝo iom akvumos, se ne por la manĝaĵo, eble por la tiparo! Klaku je iu ajn afiŝo (aŭ la ligo "Gallery") por pli granda vido kaj por pliaj informoj pri tiu tiparo.
