Food Photography for Catering Company Here’s a recent food photo I did for a local catering company. The headline to the ad has something to do with “Uncommon” food, so I needed to produce something a little out of the ordinary. The Chef did a great job in coming up with some unusual food dishes,…
Food Photography Portfolio I’m working on a video slide show of my food photography portfolio. This is a work-in-progress, and I’ll probably be adding either a voice over or maybe some music, and there’s a couple of changes that I already want to make, so don’t be too critical… :o) Tell me what you think……
On Friday, we completed a four-day food photography shoot of cakes and now have about a hundred flavors to distribute to friends, family, and various charities throughout Pittsburgh. The shoot wend really well and I’m hoping the clients are as happy as I am with the results of our efforts. Usually four-day shoots end up…
In commercial food photography, you need to adhere to a client’s layout, no matter how loose. I this shot, I had to compose to a 5 x 11 dimension, so things look a little strange when I’m shooting. But it all works out in the finished product.
Here are some photos from a recent project, nothing too exciting, but still pretty nice. This week, I’m photographing ice cream cakes (all outlined photos). Four days of shooting ice cream! I’m so glad it’s not 90 degrees out any more, like last time…
Here’s a food photo from a recent shoot. I’m pleased with the lighting on the dip, but in hindsight, I think I’d liked to have brightened up some of the secondary food items. Oh well. live and learn. It’s part of what makes food photography so much fund and so challenging. I also am pleased…
In food photography, it’s really nice to have the ability to control the depth of field, not just the amount of it, but also the direction… Here’s an example of a food photo, from today’s shoot, where I laid down the plane of focus so that the tops of the mousse’s (should I say meise?)…
Food Photos like this are a little tricky. What’s cool about them is the the “scale” of the props, but without some kind of reference, that everyone can recognize, then the shot just doesn’t communicate the the reason the shot is cool in the first place. Also, on a side note, I have to say…
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…
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…
