Food Photography

I have to say, I used to think shooting food was easy but the more I delve into it the more I realize how complicated it can be.

With food, it’s all about making a dish look its most appetizing, of course, but when you get into darkly-lit restaurants, colored walls, surrounding elements, and other lighting complications it certainly turns into a challenge.  You have to be more cautious on how the food is reflecting light and how surrounding colors are affecting the dish.  I tend to find using natural lighting is best when dealing with food.

Now some might disagree with me on this mode of thought and think it’s “unprofessional” but I’ve always preferred the outcome with natural lighting unless you need a specific look, or something more graphic, then I can see the purpose of using flash, or in addition to natural light which is what I did on this last shoot for an Indian restaurant in NJ.

I combined the use of natural light from a large window with two large reflectors and one flash hitting mid-way off one of the reflectors and the white ceiling.  It was a delicate procedure to get just the right look, but I think I managed.

Here is an example of the shoot:

Shoot with the lovely Amanda Serafin

I’ve been noticing a theme going on in my shoots recently…  I’ve been very drawn to the color RED.  I wonder what this means exactly… I know color affects our moods quite a bit (or reflects them).  RED is a passionate color but not necessarily about love and sex.  RED can also relate to feelings of anger, rage, power, lust, and passions of the more violent type (which I’m not feeling, however good to recognize).  This is just an interesting observation… I think next time I will have to focus on a different color.  New color, new mood?  We will see.

So, this semi-steampunk, semi-Gustav Klimt, semi-geisha, and obviously RED inspired shoot was with the lovely Amanda Serafin who is a fashion student in NYC and one of the sweetest models I’ve met.  In this mix of looks I think we got some pretty great images.   Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon…

taking portraits with Lensbaby

I had a shoot with a really great model the other day and was planning on doing some portrait shots but wanted to add some drama to the shoot instead of just ‘pretty’ portraits.  I wasn’t sure how I was going to attempt that except maybe with certain lighting so I decided to try out a Lensbaby.  It was one of the many things I attempted on this shoot and ended up being a last resort, however some of my favorite images came from this.  I must admit finding the ‘sweet spot’ for a focal point does take some patience but the results are very dreamy and ethereal and can give your photos that unique quality you were looking for.  So, if you have a Lensbaby, experiment!  Use it for portraits or fashion shots even if that’s not what you imagine it to be for.  Play around with the possibilities and your images will thank you for it.

Here are a couple sample shots:

the journey of bringing concepts to fruition

So today I wanted to try out long exposure portraits as I’ve seen some beautiful results by other photographers.  I didn’t have a model handy so had to use myself and since I needed to do some movement on the camera for some soft blurring I had  to entrust the help of my friend and fellow photographer to do the camera shake for me.  So with his help, I began this experimentation.

I had a loose idea of what I wanted to accomplish, put some thought into the makeup design and colors to use and since I had some left-over Halloween makeup I could try something a little more abstract for the portrait.

The results were… not what I had hoped for exactly, but interesting nonetheless.  So admittedly, I did not succeed in this experimentation but that is part of the long journey of trying to become better.  Try & try again.  I’ll revisit this when I find the right model and clean up the look a bit more.
