It appears that Martha Stewart really is human, after all. Like the rest of us, she has flaws. Besides that whole "obstruction of justice" thing, it appears she has an addiction to Twitter — and extremely poor photography skills.
And it's not a good thing.
This week, the masses (OK, maybe just the masses on the Internet) were stunned to get a peek at Martha's Twitter feed. The media mogul has been filling her feed with photos of many recent dinners, which her followers said resembled everything from "cat vomit" to "congealed rubber bands."
Her photos were retweeted hundreds of times and mocked mercilessly across the social media sphere.
Apparently unfazed by the criticism, Stewart is continuing to post photos that don't live up to her perfectionist persona. She even offered a recipe for her "lumpy Russian dressing that aroused so much emnity."
Martha clearly doesn't want help. But you may.
Here are some tips on how to take better food photos than the style maven.
1. Do not — under any circumstances — use the flash on your phone to photograph food. It produces jarring reflections, creates dark shadows and will change the color of the food.
