Kutia

Inspired by some food photography blog that Iza sent me link to I’ve decided to take advantage of the moment (Christmas feast, remember?) and practice some food photography. Picking something to shoot wasn’t all that hard – there is plenty of interesting dishes on the table. But I’ve chosen Kutia. It’s traditional eastern Poland (so eastern that it no longer is Poland) dish made out of wheat, poppy seed and a lot of nuts, almonds and raisins. Back then it was a highlight of Christmas table. As a side effect it has really nice texture which you can play with while shooting.
