  1. Try adding a little extra ink to your black dough for more color. You should be able to get it super dark. Otherwise this is really nice.

    Have a spritzer ready before your shot. The tortellini looks like it’s been airing out too long before their date with Annie Leibovitz. I see you’re really into plating but food photography is a different medium. There are techniques you can do to make things pop.

    Pasta can use a cold plunge and oil or water spray.

    This is great but that one piece upfront is very ugly and sad, you should have hidden that one and used a nicer piece in the presentation.

    Check out some of my posts. My wife and I are pastaia and we use activated charcoal powder. Deeper black, easier to use, doesn’t soften the consistency of the dough(it instead stiffens the dough), cheaper, and shelf-stable.

  5. At our restaurant, we do use charcoal powder for our calamari, but it doesn’t have the same flavor as squid ink. I’d suggest trying to find squid ink powder and incorporate that into the dough; should give you a richer black color.

  6. Wow! Looks amazing. A touch more bisque might balance the pasta-sauce ratio? Optionally, simply plate less pasta. Three seems to be the magic number

  7. Just binged you post history and the way your dishes elevated to the standard now is just extremely fire. Keep it up!
