Just finishing up a four day shoot with some great clients, stylists, and assistants! And boy, did we make some nice food photography!!!!!! Here’s a sample, and I’ll post another few images over the next couple days…
It’s been a LONG LONG time since I’ve shot for Pittsburgh Magazine, and I’m glad to be back at it… Here’s a food photo for a future magazine, and hopefully I’m not breaking any rules by posting this. But here it is.
I’ve had this interest lately in including antique props in some of my food photography. Of course you can’t ALWAYS do it, but I think it adds a little “something” to the shoot. I’ve also have this desire to shoot more of the photos on grey… Don’t ask me why, I just do… :o)
I’ve really been happy with all this artsy – fartsy food photography lately, and I love getting good portfolio pieces and this is a pretty good one. It feels good to be experimenting with different lighting techniques and lenses, that I normally wouldn’t use for my food photography. The horizons, they are expanding… :o)

I work for some pretty prestigious food photography clients, but I still find that to really play, creatively, I sometimes have to go it alone and shoot some editorial type food photography.

Think about it… Some photographers shoot scantily clad women, but I think that might make my wife a little upset, but food on the other hand……
I had a cancelation today so I thought I’d play around, do a little testing and maybe do a little “food photography art”. I’m working on a monochromatic color pallet and maximum texture with this shot. As my career evolves, my different interests in food photography chance. What I like one day might seem old…
Food photography is on of those things where you hopefully get better and better every shoot, but in reality, there some photos you look back at and think “this is a favorite. This is one of those pictures. I shot this a few years back fro a local grocery store chain, for one of their…
This food photography assignment was basically for the client’s food photography library, with the primary purpose being a promotional calendar. All our shots were horizontal, which is my favorite way to shoot food, and we got to shoot everything “nice and tight”, with shallow depth of field… This kind of food photography usually leads to…
