Food Photography Poster Tear Sheet
I’m photographing ace cream today, but I wanted to put up another sample (tear sheet) from last week’s shoot. I love it when clients send me PDF samples, so I just HAVE to post then when they do…

Food Photography Billboard
It’s fun sometimes to see your hard work in use. Here’s a client mockup from a recent shoot. I think it’s for a billboard, but I’m not entirely sure, but whatever it’s for, I kind of like it and can’t wait to see the image out in public. That never gets old for me. I…
Drink Photography for Pittsburgh Client
Here’s a shot from a recent food photography project. The surface is a brushed stainless steal “formica” type of material that I had on hand from a previous shoot. I think the colors of the drinks were set off nicely from the grey / white of the surface, whereas a white formica would not of…
Raspberry Dessert Photo
Here’s a photo from yesterday’s food shoot, but in a different direction than the other more “old world” photos. Some may not like the way the fork blends into the background, but that’s probably the part I like best about this shot. The shot is actually a composite of four images taken at different time,s…
Olives – Food Photo
Here’s my favorite food photo from yesterday’s shoot. Sorry, but I was so excited I didn’t get around to shooting any behind the scenes photos until later in the day. This was our first shot of the day and pretty simple.
Food Photography – Scallop
Got some great food photography shots today, but I think I’ll ration them on the blog here, along with some behind the scenes shots… :o) The is a close up that I did just for myself. The layout required that I leave a bunch of room to one side for type, but I thought it…
An interview / article Lil ol me… :o)
I’m afraid to read it, and I can remember exactly what I said, so if you want to hear me rant and rave about food photography, or if you have way too much time on your hands, take a peek… :o) http://www.photigy.com/michael-ray-professional-food-photographer/
Simple Food Photography – It’s all about the Lighting
Here are some behind-the-scenes, and semi-final shots from yesterday’s food photography shoot. I may not be THE best food photographer ever, but as a “Commercial” food photographer, I think I have a distinct advantage over “Editorial” food photographers in certain aspects of the business… The ability to “make” good lighting, instead of “finding” good light,…
Tea Food photography shoot – Behind the scenes
Here’s another images from this week’s tea food photography shoot for Bigelow Teas. We needed to create an environment that looked to be outdoors, so this is what we came up with. The behind the scenes shots will show you how we did it… As you can see, we needed to use a long lens…
Food Photography – Behind the scenes
I thought it might be a good idea to show you guys the finished shot and then show some behind the scenes photos. The “behind the scenes shots were done after the shot was in the bag, so you can see what all went into shooting food photography. Because we wanted to have a soft…
