I’ve been on such a crazy Vietnamese / Thai takeout kick and I can’t stop. These pictures were so tantalizing I have to click away from your site now before I start taking shots of soy.

annie, i usually use a 50/1.4 for food shots, and yes, those shots utilized a flash. the lighting in vietnamese restaurants, like you said, is usually horrible!

Oh Rick, I keep coming back to this post for several time, just adoring the photographs. I always question how you can produce such great images. Most of the time, Vietnamese restaurants are dark with awful lighting. What lens do you usually pack along and do you use a flash?

Oh, delicious. You capture the essence of a place so well — I can almost hear and smell, as well as see. Wonderful work.
