Two Years’ Worth of Montage of Food Photography

It was in the beginning of pandemic circa 2020 where cooking started to become a necessary survival skill (eating out and delivery options were quite risky especially in the early days) that soon became a new hobby that we both shared. I, personally, was blessed with my mother’s homemade cooking my entire life. Unfortunately, mum is strictly territorial about her kitchen so it wasn’t until I have my own place that I was finally able to venture out and cook ‘actual food’ that is not instant Indomie Goreng. At the time we just recently moved to new place with our own kitchen and better appliances, we decided to experience recreating various scrumptious recipes on our Youtube timeline and when the pandemic struck, it was just the perfect thing to kill extra time we have from not able going anywhere. It was sort of a blessing in disguise.

As we also share our love for photography, it became natural that we started documenting every dish and the steps in creating it. We knew we are extensive (read: extra) so without a surprise things escalated pretty quickly from discovering our love of cooking and baking to getting more and more kitchen appliances to procuring professional LED lighting setup and few backdrops to adding entire new collection of tablewares to setting up one dedicated Instagram account. That was the story of how @fatfromhome began.

In this post, we simply wanted to share some of the food photographs we took between the year of 2020 - 2021. There are around1,128 photos and 98 recipes in total. Most of the photos is already featured in the @fatfromhome Instagram along with the recipe of it. Some did not make the cut whilst some were not our own cookings (there was a time when we wanted to help small businesses during the pandemic so folks sent us plenty of food to take photos of — then eat!) so rather we only shared them via Instagram story. As what an album is meant to, we hope by putting this here we may be able to look back from time to time on how far we progress, just like life in general. Hopefully this would inspire us to do more food photography as we haven’t really gotten back to it………one year after moving (LOL!). Enjoy and let’s drool over together!
